oops-- ordered the wrong size tire I think

[nllm_oo_mlln]

my pilot road 2s came in today when double checked the front tire size

    I got a 120/70 ZR17 on it
ordered a 120/60 ZR17

most of the specs online -- inc ducati say 120/60 is stock.  when I got the pirelli Scorpion syncs it was a holiday weekend and I took what I could get.. so perhaps they fit it with the 120/70.  never realy liked the syncs but maybe it was because the tire size wasn't optimal.

will it fit? does it make a difference?  hate to wait another week and a half to get back on the road.  could some other 695 / 620 owners tell me what you got?  mine's a 695 if that matters

thanks

OEM tire is a 120/60.

It does make a difference.

A 3.5 x 17 wheel will properly fit either a 120/60 or a 120/70 tire.  The /70 will give you a bit more protection from potholes and probably a better ride.  On my '94 CR, they specify the /60 front, but that's just a down-rating to make the bike cheaper to build.  I've always run /70s on it.  After all, it's got the same front wheel as the SP.

The /70 tire will work fine, but since the tire is a little taller you should either lower the front or raise the rear to maintain geometry.  If they made the mistake and you prefer the /60 they should exchange it for you.

It works out that the 120/70 is 12mm taller than the 120/60. Doesn't seem like much but you will probably notice a
change in handling.

the new one is a 120/60.  haven't put it on yet. but I will as soon as I find a suitable tree or swing set to hang it from.

thanks everybody
