160/60 zr17 or 160/70 zr17

[davepol]

I want to get shinko 009. I have to choose between 160/60 and 160/70 (different model). Could you give me some advice which one would be better for Kat?

160/60 is cheaper so I would like to get this one but if it's wrong size I guess I will just have to get a different size?

thanks,

160/60 is the correct size

The 60 is slight less circumference than the 150/70 and will make a difference similar to adding 1/2 a tooth (yes I know that isn't possible) to the rear sprocket. The 160/70 is slightly bigger than the 150/70 and would be similar to decreasing rear sprocket size by 1/2 a tooth.

Why a shinko? Why not a dunlop qualifer or a pilot power?

Thanks for all the answers. I decided to go with shinko 009, it's the cheapest, plus I have it on the front and I'm very happy with its performance,

thanks,
