Hi, is it me or is trying to find 120/60's getting harder? I'm returning to riding after a ten yr break and using my 748 for the track only. I want to replace the tyres but 120/60's seem scarce- is everyone using 120/70's now? And if so what difference should I expect to feel in handling? I'm pretty green and don't want to make a costly mistake by buying the wrong tyres.. Thanks in advance for your time..
120/70 is the best choice imo. Gives a little more contact when leant over. I could regularly ride the edge on a 60 but the 70 gives that little more of a safety margin.
Didn't the 748 have 120/70 as standard anyway with the 916 running the slower /60? I thought that's what gave the 748 the slightly more nimble handling.
I know someone who used a 60 and then took it to a track day and ran right off the rim and crashed, too much rim shows using a 60 and I cannot see why Ducati ever decided to use that size at all. It's no contest really it has to be a 120/70.
