Hi,
After a pair of tyres for my trx, notice busters are doing a pair of avon viper sport /supersport for £109.95. Only problem is, the front is 120/60/17, as oppose to 120/70/17 anyone know if these will work ok, on the front ?
the rear of the pair is a 160.60.17 which is the correct fitment ?
Need to get these today....
THanks Alun

Alun,
Standard fitment for TRX front is actually 120/60 anyway, although most other bikes (R6 etc) take a 120/70 fornt as standard.
My bike had a 120/60 for ages and the're fine. I swapped to 120/70 and I find them better.
You'll probably find most poeple on here are running a 120/60 anyway.
160/60 is correct for the rear.

Hmm, not sure I agree with you there! I think 120/60 is better.
Hey, let's start a new thread on this topic!
