996 tyre size Has anyone tried using a 170 rear tyre on a 916/996 for road use to improve cornering ? I believe 170 tyres are used on the race track. Would the front tyre need changing to get the best from rear (ie same as 748) |
A 170 is too narrow to fit on a 5.5 inch rim.Most people reccommend a 180 rear and a 120/70 front. |
996 tyre size Definatly a 180 :sing: |
A 170/60 tyre is fitted to a 5.5inch rim on the 900ss & I have definately talked to race teams that use a 170 rear tyre to assist in cornering |
Power output on a 900ss : 80-90 HP on a 996 : 115+ Not to mention the extra torque and weight Thats why you shouldnt run a 170! |
