Not sure if that's necessarily a fail but it's not a standard size. 120/70/17 on the front and 160/60/18 on the rear is though.

Erm, 120/60-17 for the front. :geek:
Most 160 rears will fit, but some might have a profile wider than others and might rub ever so slightly on the swingarm; I know Bridgestone's BT020's fit!

just fitted a 160 michelin rear tyre to my nc30 and there are no clearance / rubbing issues at all.

same with the Avon Azaro Storms - 160/60-18 rear & 120/60-17 front with no issues

the tyre sizes wont fail the MOT as long as there are no clearance / rubbing issues and there is plenty of tread obviously!
