Has anyone went with a 120/60 front tire on their Uly? I recent changed my tires and noticed my tire guy installed a 120/60 series on the front unknowingly. I chose a set of Pirelli Angles this round.

After a short ride, I did notice quicker turn in and no adverse effects at speed - 80 mph on the freeway. Thanks for your input.

120/70 is the normal size. If your happy with the 60 then thats fine. The only thing I would say is that it was a mistake by the fitter and could have been dangerous. I have had this before and it was VERY dangerous.

This sort of thing is a case in point with bikes. Never EVEEEEEER trust what others do to your bike and always check its been done right. You cant moan about it if your dead.

It's not a huge deal. Many of the fellow board members here run other than stock tire sizes (albeit typically the back). But if it does other you, take it back to the shop and have them fix it.
