Well answer my question re. profiles. Cos if you're on a 60 then you won't be helping yourself!

lol - the front is a 120/60 - will the profile change make a massive difference?
tbh the turn is isnt my main concern though quicker turn in is a bonus - its the lack of front end grip -

That's your problem. I moved to a 70 on my 748 and it made a major difference to the front end feel. No racers I know of run on a 60. The 70 does put more rubber down when on the side imo so, it will affect grip.

Diablo and Diablo corsa are fine for the road.

Is getting em shipped then fitted a better bet than taking some loose wheels to the local suppliers??
