Ive been offered a 150-70-17, new, for about half price in the rubber I prefer.

CR250RR MC22 - It seems 140-70-17 is the standard size, very little choice so most people go for 150-60-17 instead. Ive got one of each fitted to my rear wheels.


140-70 should make the bike turn quicker than a 150-60. How would a 150-70 compare

Raising the profile on the front wheel will make it turn in quicker.
