I'm running Pilot Sport front (yes, old) and Road 2 rear and i HEART the Road2!! dunno if I'll put it on the front when I replace it, I will likely go to a Power, to stay sport-oriented for the front. That combo has worked really well for me

Oh, and my front is 120/60 stock

if you got a 65 on there now, i doubt u would be able to tell the dif if you went to a 60 or a 70 since u said u arent a aggressive rider.

the rear is a 160/60 stock

160 is the width, 60 the aspect ratio/height, 17 is the rim size

so for the front, if you got a 65 now, then no matter what direction you go (120/60 or 120/70) its only a 5% change. width is the same, so no prob fitting the rim.

if u went with a 170/70 rear(itll fit the rim, but check the chain clearance and swingarm clearance) and a 120/60 front, u would be lowering the front a tiny bit, and raising the rear alil, so i would think if you did ride it hard enough to notice, it would steer a lil quicker. i never rode a sv, so i dont know if you would even notice it.


and heres the manualwww.carlsalter.com

Thanks!

I had the size of my front tire wrong. It's a 120/65 on the front. Doh!

Does anyone know with certainty if a 120/70 front & a 1&0/55 rear will fit my SV?

Would that be somewhere on the rim I can look? If so, I can step outside & take a quick look.

nope. sorry-that was a gd deal you were gettin too..probably still worth gettin the front

a 180 won't fit on the stock rear rim. a 170 might.

if you want to run a 180 or 190, do the GSXR swap. Talk to Arrah Arrah, I know he did it to his SV.
