Need new front tyre, any recommended????

Post by spadey99 »

Hi there

I know the usual is a battleax bridgestone but what other tyres are worth a look for the front of my nc30?

Does it have to be 120/60-17 size? Just thought I would ask.

erm thats a standard front size.

most modern bikes either run a 120/70 or a 120 / 60 front tyre in the 17" size.

Espeically with the front there are literally hundreds of differnet tyres that will fit.

What are you after, mileage, track day?

the 70 front doesn't suit the NC30 very well, the 60 gives a far more assured feel and less "tip in"
