Tyre Size and Profile Comparisons for a NC29 - input pls

Post by marty400 » Thu Aug 11, 2011 8:09 pm

Hiya all,

Apparently, my nc29 had the wrong size front tyre! Which did not help turning the bike.
Also the rear tyre can go a size smaller....

This got me thinking, I imagine a summary like the below would be valuable to NC29 riders, for Road and Track!

Can you peeps advise on the below? Just copy and paste the format below for your bike, and let us know your experiences with your tyres.
I'll update this headline list - as people advise of their experiences
Hopefully, if we get enough data together, the Administrator could make it a Sticky?

Cheers
Martin

stock sizes are 150/60 17R and 120/60 17F

you can squeeze on 120/70 17F and 160/60 17R I think :)
