Hi
Just bought my TRX and it needs a new tyre which is the 120/60R17 but 120/70R17 seems to be the size on the newer bikes. Has or is anyone running this size if so what do you think better/worse
Thanks

Re: Front tyre size
60 series gives a faster tip in and can give the feeling like the front end is washing out from under you but the 70series makes the drop into a corner a little more linear if that makes sense. With the 70 series tyre you can drop the forks another 10mm through the yoke to make up for the extra tyre height and still have the quicker steering just without the sudden drop feeling
laughter is the best medicine
