Hey Guys,

Had to get my rear tyre change over the weekend and the shop put a 150/70R17 as they said they didn't have any 150/60R17 in stock and won't be a while and I was in a rush.
Looking back I should of looked into it more but yep.

Anything severely going to be wrong with it? Handling wise etc? It is my second bike and I'm no pro so I think I should be alright.

I understand my speedo will be out, so at 100km/h on my speedo will be doing 105 or 95??

Also in stock form is the speedo accurate or is it already out a bit?

Cheers,
Devon

Is the speedo not off the engine? I don't think it will change.

The difference in the tires is a slightly higher profile, might be a bit more comfy on bumps. :)

Your speedo will be reading slow - when travelling at 60mph you will be doing 63mph

(it does't have an option for 150 width, so I used 155 - speedo is 5% out)
