750 front tire
Its 2017 so I thought I would bring this up for any 750 owners still out there. Wondering what tire choices you have made, especially for track days. I have always run Michelin pilot sport then powers on my bike with 120/65 and 190/50. The more I started doing track days, I switched to a 180/55 rear. I like that set up and if it was good enough for the SPR, its good enough for my bike.
So now we are 17 years later from when the f4 debuted and the 65 series tire is getting very narrow in the selection pool. I'm thinking of going up to power 3's but alas no 65 front. the 2ct are avail in a 65 front. So, I'm trying to decide whether to get them, or step it up to a 50/50 tire and use a 70 front. researching 5-7 year old threads, some have had success switching over, but more have said that the handling isn't as sharp. I even found a thread where a 1000R rider wanted to try and 65 front. MV adjusted rake, bar height, and rearset height along with the 70 front. I would assume it was for a reason, and don't want to have to make that many changes as I KNOW my bike the way its set up currently.
How many of you have made the switch and what are you thoughts? Especially for the future which has 90% of bikes running 70 fronts.
