    yeah I dont think your getting much more then a 170 to fit in the stock swingarm IF you do something about that brake strut. I went with a 160 on the stocker 3.5. But im still hunting for the elusive Rf600 Wheel we had spoke of. I found 1 right after you had told me but it was sold the next day.

        IMHO: you'll get far better benefits from a 150/70 than a 160/60, but either size can be used on the 98-06 Kats. For a pre-98, the OEM rear wheel maxes out at 150/70 and you shouldn't use a larger tire than that unless you swap rear wheels to a wider wheel.

        A whole lot more insight (on a web page to keep me from having to retype it a zillion times):

          I'm running a 170 Z6 on the back... I like it, although I probably won't be doing it again as it doesn't like to turn anymore.
