3 spoke tyre size

[GavD]

Hi all,

I'm finally getting round to order a rear tyre for my 3 spoke conversion and it looks like the rear wheel I have is the same part number for the Sprint & Daytona/Speed Triple yet they have different size rear tyres.

So the ? is - 170/60 or 180/55

Any thoughts fellas, is fatter better?

Wheel is marked 17xMT5.50

Fatter looks better I suppose    180 fitted to my Super3

Is it a 5.5 inch rim 3pot?

either one works fine , with no discernible difference .

I have even run a 190x17-50 Dunlop with no difference in ride .

What are you putting on the front?

[GavD]

A 120/70 Sin

Got a 180/55 on mine, handles just fine.

Most bikes with that config seem to run 120/70 and 180/55 as a pair.

180 for me too

180 it is then
