748 front tyre section

daytona63 · 16-Oct-2009, 21:45

I'm sure this is probably a bit of an overdone question but here goes anyway.

I've just bought a 748 very nice condition 1999 Biposto.

The front tyre is a 60 section BT014 and the rear a new BT016.

I want to get a new front BT016 to match the rear. Should i put a 70 section front on in place of the 60 section. I realise the 60 is the std fitment but it does feel a bit strange to me. Will a 70 section feel a bit more planted?

Cheers for any help.

Owned acouple of 748s and raced and trackday'd them and always with a 70 section tyre, when ever I have tried a 60 profile they just feel as though they are going to tuck under on you

70, as skids said, 60 felt like it was going to tuck under.
