  guess wat, this is the dunlop GPR-70 SP, the best tyre i have ever used. But too bad, rear tyre min is 140/60. and front is 110/70. too bad, last time i only change the rear tyre to 140/60. No way i can fully uterlise with my original foot rest... :<

  u last time rear change to 140/60, pickup badly affected or not?

  big is big lor.. but corner is damn stable, (but of coz lar, tyre so big) anyway i heard that this GPR70 is a damn good tyre lor... really. Think he is refering to the tyre itself is good. but really depends on what u need lar... corner, or pick up fast..

  Last time i use this tyre, i dont see really big diff lor, n i now change to TT900 120/70. Also not much diff leh. may be little be faster lar. The only problem changing small tyre is that, ur bike will become very unstable, especially when wind blows heavily towards u. ( u will only realise when u change from a 'big' tyre to 'small' tyre i guess )

  er.. some useful info about the "thickness" lar.. "120/60 ZR15" is a typical tyre rating. btw i got this from the singaporebikes website.
  
  the "120" refers to the width in mm, the "60" is the "aspect ratio", which is the thickness of the tyre expressed as a percentage of the width. so in the case above, a "120/60" tyre would have a side profile of 72mm.
  
  the "ZR" is a speed rating, which means the tyre is suited for travelling at speeds greater than 240km/h, "Q" is up to 160km/h, "T" is up to 190km/h and so on...
  
  the last number is your rim diameter in inches lar... hope this helps..

  The thickness you mention is the tyre expect ratio(profile). Use low profile tyre will improve performance, like response(pick up) and handling, take yours tyre size as example, it will improve your response time and handling, but you will loose out your top speed. Your existing tyre size is smaller then original one (120/80/70). Smaller in term of total tyre diameter.(This is true provided you never do any MOd on engine gearing, final drive and front tyre size)
