    I plan on going back to the 120/60/17 and the 160/60/17 I like the handling alot better when I had that set up.
    I plan on doing the same, I am on Dunlop d208's now but plan on going metz Z6 120/60or70/17 and 160/60/17. I am doing more commuting now so I need a tire that is more tour than sport

        It has to be an over seas thing then. Over here in the States they are 3.0 front and a 3.5 rear. It says it right on my rims and any other rim I have looked at on the pre 98s. I think the 88 Kats have the 2.5 and 3.0 rims on them here but not able to confirm that just yet. So that is something that is very interesting. So maybe people on your side of the pond might want to look at going with our rims or even the 98+ rims.

          Nopeee!!! At least not in Spain. Here pre 98 have 3.0 and 3.5.
          BTW, I´m right noe mounting 110/70 150/70, and it helps to handle the bike side to side in tight corners.
          PICSSSS!!!!
