Rear Tyre size for the 900 SS

[yeahmate]

Need to get some new tyres. Looking at either BT-016's or the 2CT. Mine is running 170 on the rear at the moment 2CT have a 160 or 180 and up, whilst the BT's start at 180. Will 180s' fit. What are you guys running?

Thanks for the replies guys, I was just looking here BATTLAX BT-016 PRO HYPERSPORT | Products | Motorcycle Tires | Bridgestone Corporation must be old. Stoney have you brought tyres in from overseas, the prices are bloody good.

I have a 2CT 170/60 on the rear of mine. The 2CT's are the best tyre I've used for this type of bike. Over 10k so far including two-up country runs and there's barely any wear.

Be wary of differing sizes between brands. Some 180's are wider and/or taller than others. Some will rub your hugger.

Like Dunlop Sportmax Q2.

2CT's pretty good value.
Plenty enough grip, have a 180 on my rear.
