Tyre size diffence
Hi guys just a quicky just took delivery of a shiny new set of battlax 090s and they have sent me a 120/70/17 instead of a 120/60/17. Im due to do a trackday at lydden next month and was wonderin what difference it would make, better or worse

Re: Tyre size diffence
I believe the "larger" sidewall helps with turn in and changing direction of the bike and you should be OK with the 70. Just remember to put enough miles on the tire to wear it in and get rid of all the natural oils that come out of the tire when it is new. I made that mistake at Snetterton and lost the front on a tight right hander.

If i can wrench on cars, bikes should not be a problem, right?...
