2004 Sv650
decided on the next tires Dunlop Sportmax Q2
decided on the front size. 120/70-17
not sure about the rear size. some recomend 170/60-17. a lot recomend 160/60-17(stock size).
anyone with more tire knowledge want to chime in?
stock size wheel.

The stock size is 160/60zr17, you can fit a 170 but it will be pinched and look smaller than a 160. Some sv owners do a 180 conversion from a forum member called svxr from svrider.com, but the stock size works best you turn in faster with the stock size. Good thing going to a 120/70 front, it corrects the speedo a little, I will be doing the same thing, but I'm going with metzeler sportec m5, cant wait I don't trust my stock tires anymore lol
thats what im leaning towards too. but when a reputable name and a racer suggests something different, i thought i would research on my own as well. but so far, its been only the guys that want a fatter tire on the back are happy with 170. i dont care about the look. function before looks.
