Anyone any experience with tyres on a c6f zx6r?

I've been running a 120/70 front without realising but manual says it should be a 120/65, not sure how much difference switching will make.

Looking for sports tyres, always had Bridgestone bt's but just see bad review after bad review. The pilot roads get good reviews but a bit too tourer/commuter for me I think plus there doesn't seem to be a massive choice for 120/65 fronts.


I think Pilot Power 2CT & Rosso Corsas come in 120/65 both sport tyres.

How do you go about it do you guys buy the tyres and take them to a garage? Where's a good place to buy then?

Forgive my naivety! Laughing

I am commuting on these. Transforms what would otherwise be a boring cbr6 commuter with 98k miles.

I thought I had my ninja for 18 months.... it's 2 1/2 years now and it's still the same rear tyre on there that I got fitted a couple of days after I got the bike (OK it needs replaced now as it's down to the wear markers), but that's been about 8,000 miles, a few burnouts and basically riding like a tit.... in the near desert conditions that we always have in Scotland Rolling Eyes
