[QUOTE="Albervin, post: 99253, member: 586"] Do you have over 70Kw? If not then go for larger diameter (20 or 21") and thinner front and a decent 19" rear. If the power is over 70Kw then it will be the rule book that dictates the wheels and tyres. I have learned over the years that a fat front tyre is rubbish unless you have the power to push it into the turns. Way back in 1970 I used a 3.25 front on a modified Yamaha and it steered way better than those with a 3.50. Only 28Kw of course. [/QUOTE]
