i just bought some perilli diablos stradas from a guy for real cheap like 120 bucks for both tires but i just noticed that the front tire is ever so slightly larger than the one i have on it , i have 120/65/17 and i bought 120/70/17 does anyone know if this is going to turn into a problem????? and what is the general consensus on this tire?????

 

no problem at all. both my sisters bike and my bike have gone from the 65 to the 70 series in the front. you will feel like the bike wants to turn easer.

 

+1^Most of your better peformance tires don't make a 65 series front tire. My Michellin PP 2CT are the same way.

 

Usually going from a 65 to a 70 series slows down the steering but each tire manufacturer has a slightly different profile. Some are rounded while others are triangulated so if GS247 went from stock 65 to taller Pirelli 70's, he's got first hand experience in the change in steering. Also othermanufacturers measure their tires different. A 180 bridgestone is wider than a 180 Michelin.

 

i just wanted to thank everyone that responded to my question you guys are the best here on this forum . i still think that the florida fellas and ladies need to get together somewhere and have a big ole fashioned get toghether!!!!!!!!!!!!!
