another tyre question

Post by aer0 » Mon Aug 17, 2009 10:29 pm

hi all,

A quick tyre question, i need a new front rather urgently and can get a Pirelli Super Corsa SC2 rather cheaply

only problem is the tyre is a 120/70 rather than the standard 120/60.

Am i going to run into any problems with this tyre, is it going to rub on my front guards or anything like that?

Many thanks
Sam

yes if your forks are standard and in need of a rebuild and you very fond of 90mph-0mph spotties , you'll put the tyre into the lower rad ....but it'll clear the mud guard ok.
It's not having what you want but wanting what you've got....Loud ,Proud and Modified ....

or ditch the lower rad and get a bigger top rad? Although i dont think thats as good as better forks :)
