I use 110/70 for my trackday setup - turns in like you wouldn't believe :D.
OD of tyre (fitted) = 590mm, so clears the lower radiator just fine, even with the forks dropped through yokes.
Not much use on public roads IMO, offers no protection for wheel rims in ruts & sunken manhole covers.

maybe he means it's no good on a 3.5 rim rather than the 3 rim

Yep, well done Rhory, that's exactly what I meant.
It looks good & cool, but on the roads round here it's just not a viable option.

oh mate i'd love a set but i have that much on me plate atm,i finally got that stickered bike taxed,moted,insured etc and i'm aiming to get the track bike sorted so i can maybe get a track day in this year,but discs and pads are holding me back and the prices i'm being quoted for 2nd hand discs is making my eyes water ....but i now have a 17 rear for the castrol bike so 'teks and 'mags are back on the back burner til i sort the other things out ....plus an english track day would be nice....i have all ten fingers in ten different pies and i'm going nowhere fast... :evil:
