All depends on whether or not you are talking brand new ...

Also your thing only runs skinny little things doesn't it

You'll find most bikes have 120 front tyres.

How stupid does that sound!? Not 120 front tyres... ONE front tyre, obviously!

120mm across!

As danny said pretty much most bikes will have either a 110 or 120 front tyre, but it's the rears that vary most and the differential between a 150 (yours) and a 190 (mine) can be significant


either way, you haven't said whether they were new, or what you paid yet

doesnt matter wether u got a 2 million rear tyre. if u only got a small front tyre u will only get soo far on ur back before u run off the front. but wiuht the 150/120 combo. i can go right to the edge of booth tyres. anyway yeh so.

And precisely what has how far you can lean them over got to do with the cost, which was the point I was trying to make there's a £15 -20 differential between a 150 and a 190, depending where you look

As for how far over you wear the tyre, there is a lot more to it than just tyre size ..... rim width, tyre pressure, steering geometry, tyre profile, all have a factor in it. There weren't chicken strips on the back of my supercorsa's or the Pilot race's before them, but there was still a fair bit of front tyre left on both. Haven't pushed the Pilot sports recently fitted that much yet, but they appear to wear far more evenly because the front has a flatter profile

And you STILL haven't said what you paid my pilot's cost me £65 for the pair

lol. 30 squid

I cast my vote at £30! ;)

cheat

but it's the rears that vary most and the differential between a 150 (yours) and a 190 (mine) can be significant

no, i have the bigger penis
