Ive seen a few people go from 18" to a 17" wheel, why are the smaller wheels better? Is it better handling?
Not too knowledgable about this stuff sorry!

More choice of tyres available for 17" wheel :-)

I was informed that the 17" conversion give's you more tyre choice... the Bridgestone's gip WELL!! i have out handled most things from 600cc - 750cc no issue's with stock shock's and these tyre's.

Bridgestone now recommend the 160/60/18 BT016 for NC30's on their website.
As for me, I will keep using the BT090 as they are great and affordable

I've used the gpr100 before, on par with the bridgestone bt092 for grip and wear characterstics.
