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.

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!
