Mood: st2......we can rebuild
just had a look in my st2 handbook and my st2 rear is a 170 60 17 it also lists the st4 as 180 55 17
the rear wheel dimensions are also listed 5.5 x 17 for both the st2 and st4

so for the same size wheel ducati list different tyre sizes as standard fit depending on the model ?

as i was thinking of changing the rear soon i might go for a 180 this time. i understand that this will slow the steering a bit, but what are the advantages of going for the wider tyre apart from the look. does it accually give a bike any more lean angle in the real world .
