Hi,
Happy holidays everyone. I need new tires can you make some recommendations? I ride m750, weight about 170lbs, 5'7", and about 80% city street.
Front: I know I need 120/70/17 so no question there.
Rear: I'm debating between 160/60/17 or 170/60/17 or I'm completely wrong here please tell me.
I have read some other discussions and I'm leaning toward Michelin Pilot Road set.
Any comments or recommendations would be great.
Thanks, and again happy holidays.
Sean.
I am assuming you read through this thread?!?!?! -> http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=2444.0 (http://www.ducatimonsterforum.org/index.php?topic=2444.0)
Your 750 came out of the factory with a 120/60 R 16 up front. A 120/70 will work. It is taller though, so suspension should be adjusted to suit. Rear was a 160/60 and is best for your 4.5" wheel. The Pilot Road is an excellent choice.

Just double check,
Front is 120/70/16 (not 120/70/17?)
Rear is best with 160/60/16 or 17?
Howie got one too many 6's in there.
Your front was originally a 120/60-17.
120/70-17 is better on the front.
Rear, 160/60-17.
I have a set of Pilot Road 3's on mine. Love 'em. They seem to be holding up well, (only 1k on them) and they have more grip than I have nerve. Highly recommend them. Work great in the rain too.
Yeah, one too many.
haha sorry...newbie [beer]
