An RVF rear is only 4.5" wide so a 160/60/17 tyre (Minitwin scrub) gets a bit pinched and loses a bit of the foot print from the tyre.
Doesnt a Suzuki SV run a 4.5" wheel? This has come up before and many believe a modern 160 tyre works fine on a 4.5" rim. Bridgestone site even recommends one for vfr

Didnt know that, always thought a 160 was really made for a 5" rim, more than happy to be told im wrong on this
