Re: Tyres
Ditch the 60 front for a 70 and fit Supercorsas
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: Tyres
in with cagiva996 dunlop qualifiers all the way,
had a set of new dunlop boots on it when i got it, and as the saying goes "if it aint broke don't fix it"
was really surprised how good they are in the wet too, got carved up in torrential rain on a roundabout and thought this is it i'm off, had to really lean it over to clear a mutha of a curb and all i got (apart from full pants ) was a little twitch from the bike and that was probably me tightening up on the bars
although longevity is not their strong point
and yes go for the 70 front profile if you can get em

Re: Tyres
Sold on the Dunlop Qualifiers but a bit sceptical about the 70 front. I had a 70 front on one of my nc30's and it felt shocking! Maybe it was just the type of tyres I don't know.

Re: Tyres
i prefer the 70s, it seems to steer a bit quicker,
but the 60s are just as good (had 2 )
i spose it's down to personal preference,
if i'd a had a dodgy experience with the 70 profile i'd probably steer (no pun intended) clear,
it's all down to confidence in what you got
