what was the exact tire? lookin for the exact numbering and everything. I've got the 05 Kat and I'm pretty sure it's the same as the 04 correct?

so, I'm guessing from iceman's post that a 170/60 Mich Pilot Road will also fit on the 4.5 inch rim with no problems. Anyone know about the PR 2's ?

Michelin does not provide a range of rim sizes for the tires they make. They only provide the tire suggested for the bike by make/rim size. All of the 4.5" rims they suggest 160mm tires. The only suggestions for 170s were on 5.5" rims, per their PDF catalogs/tire fitment guides.

Not all tires are the same. Even in the same brand profiles change between the types, and can effect if a 170 should go on a 4.5" rim or not...

The conti 160 fits as well? I don't think I wanna go to the 170, but rather the 160.
