tyre profile for zx6r

My bikes 50 miles away and im looking at new tyres.

Will be getting the Conti Road Attacks more than likely, only thing is i dont know whether to go for the 60 or 70 profile on the front?

Internet says 120/65 but cant see that size for the Road Attacks on ebay.

So whats the better choice?

60 profile will turn quicker/be less stable, 70 profile the opposite. The differences will be pretty small though.

the only possible issue with a 70 is that it may have clearance issues with the mudguard

that is as much as i know sorry

your choice is limited with 65 profiles, i needed track tyres so opted for 70 profile and to be honest i couldnt notice the difference.
people say drop the front by 5mm to compensate but i didnt have to Thumbs Up

fitting tyre warmers is very tight though but still possible.

I think we can sum this thread up with,
