Fellow riders:
I have a 2006 Katana 750 with stock size tires:
Front tire: 120/70-ZR17 currently Michelin Pilot Power 2CT
Rear tire: 150/70-ZR17 currently Michelin Pilot Road 2
I'm about to get a new rear tire.
The problem, Michelin doesn't make rear a Pilot Power 2CT in stock size.
However, there is a rear Pilot Power in the stock size.
Michelin does make a rear Pilot Power 2CT in 160/60ZR17, which is wider than the stock size.
The question: Would you stick to the stock size and get the non 2CT tire or switch to the wider 160/60ZR17 to get the 2CT tire? More danger to having a wider tire, throw off the speedo, impact lean angle, etc?
Regardless of your answer, please include your reasoning.
Keep in mind I tend to ride more aggressive and go to track days.
Thanks for your time and knowledge.
