Front120/70/17 – Rear 200/50/17 What will it do?
Front120/70/17 – Rear 190/50/17 What will it do?
Front120/70/17 – Rear 180/50/17 What will it do?

I have a 1000cc Sportbike and I will soon ride it on the track. What would be the best tire size and why? I like this size Front120/70/17 – Rear 200/50/17 for the street. Is that size tire limiting the bikes performance?

What tires are compatible with my motorcycle rim size?

I have a 2003 Kawasaki Mean Streak 1500cc bike. The OEM front tire is a 130/70R17. I wanted to know what sizes of tires I can put on the front rim. I’m something of a novice when it comes to bikes so any help is greatly appreciated.
