|  SV needs some new rubber!
Right now I have the stock size in a Metzeler Sportec M-1. If I get another 1000 miles out of my rear I'll be impressed... I've done some searching, but I haven't found exactly what I was looking for even though I've read it here before. I must be searching wrong... I'm wanting to go to a larger (wider) rear tire if possible. Can someone tell me the pros/cons of this move. Also, what size would this be? Stock is 160x60x17 All my rider budies are running the new Pilot Powers and love them (they have 1000 sportbikes). Would that be a good commuting/hard riding in the twisties tire? I'd rather have grip in the corners over mileage etc. ANY advice on this upcoming purchase would be great  |
