but first choose whether to have a 170 or 180 section rear tyre. 170 is the standard but some choose a 180. Search the board to see what people say and I think the general concensus was 170 was better for turn in.

The reason I mention that is the 170 section tyre limits your tyre choice. Most of the top sporty rubber does not come in 170. I have Pirelli Diablo (normal road) and they seem to be very good. If you have a squared off 180 section tyre then swopping to any new 170 section tyre will be an big improvement for turn in.
