3rd Generation Magna Tire Survey - Results Component Specific Comments Front Size: 120/80-17 (stock) The front seemed okay as stock - so I stayed with it Works good and no reason to believe changeing will improve anything. Ditto on performance. A different profile performs poorly compared to stock. Stock size is available, and didn't want to have to mess with speedo configurations It handles much better than the smaller tire I tried once before. The smaller tire made the bike feel "twitchy". If it`s not broke, don`t fix it. Why mess with perfection? I like the look of this size for this bike. It is already meaty enough. think its the only one that fits It's cheap and it is the size the folks at Honda intended for it. NC handling Same as for the rear tire. Best choice for performance and turn in on the corners. Metz front is more rounded so cornering is better than the stock Junlop No mods needed and it is the size that the bike was meant to run There's another size? Mileage, grip. handles fine with the rear choice Best to not mess with geometry never have tried different Works fine Matches rear. No Mods! Same reason. see above It's the only size I've ever used Why change it? Better response on the curve and better traction. Used to have the Dunlops and sometime I would lose traction. Not once did the Metzler let me down in the dry or wet condition. Same a rear. This size tire required a modification to fit Matches the rear Same reason. it is more than meaty enough for me Same reason as above I first tried the 120/70-17, but it made the front end really twitchy. Keeps the geometry the same as stock. Same Same as the rears? Better traction Never tried the other size but my experience the thinner tire will give a easier response in turns. Only size I've ever used. No real benefit to a different size Assured handling characteristics I don't want to mess with the front. Keep it stock size. I don't want to mess with the front. Best Fit Why try a different tire on the front. It looks fine © 2005 kewpro.com
