tire question
I know stock sizes are as follows for the nc30
120/60/17 front
150/60/18 rear
i am going to buy the bt014 150/60/18 for in the rear but the bt014's dont have the correct front size. so my question is should i go with the BT003 or the BT016? I have no experience with either of these fronts. I dont mind how quick the tires wear i just want something that will handle the low turning the nc30 can handle. i've never put two different model tires on a bike before either is this bad??? Bike will never see rain either so that doesnt matter or track use just sunday driving around town mostly...
thanks

Re: tire question


You could try conti road attack tyres, i know a few people that use them and say they are as good as any pirelli they have tried.
I think Michelin do a pilot road 2 in an 18" too might be worth a look.

An NC is for life, not just for Christmas!
