I picked up a nail in my tire today on the way home from work.I'm going to go ahead and get a new tire.The rear on this bike has a 180/55/17.BTW(04 gsx600).I've only had this bike for 12 days now.Isn't this the wrong size tire?Should i go back with a 160?What would be the best size for better handling?Thnx in advance
