This question is for the 88 Katana. I'm sure the rear is 3.5 inches wide. But I've seen different sites listing the front at 2.5 inches AND 3.0 inches wide.
Stock F 110/80/17 2.5 in or 3.0in
Stock R 140/80/17 3.5in
Now would this work
F 120/70/17
R 150/70/17
or
F 110/80/17
R 150/70/17
or
F 110/70/17
R 140/70/17
What’s the best combo?
What I'm getting at is how interchangeable are the widths / percentages.
Can I stay 110 on front if I go 150 on rear or should I go 120 if 150 on rear?
Can the percentages be diff. i.e. 80 on front 70 on rear or vise versa?
Or can I drop from 80 to 70 on both to get lower profile?
Are specific tires better than others on skinnier rims like the 88 Katana?
I've read as much as I can but I guess nobody has asked these exact Q's.
Thanks for the help guys.
If ya haven't figured it out... I need new tires.
