First, let me apologize - I know these questions are asked regularly. However, two hours of reading and I'm still having trouble finding a definitive answer.
I have a 95 Kat 600 that I just bought last fall. Currently it has Dunlop Arrowmax tires, and runs a 140/80 17 on the rear. I think this is the stock size. I have no idea how old these tires are, but Im going to replace them (complete set).
Heres the question: What sizes will fit my rear rim? I have heard 150/70 17, and 160/60 17, though I am unsure if this latter size is restricted to the Post 98 kats. The 150/70 17 seems to be tough to find. I know the front size is 120/70 17.
Also, where do you buy your tires, and does anyone have an opinion on Shinko brand tires? I've read good reviews of the Shinko 005 Advance, and the price is certainly agreeable.
Thanks,
Jay
