OK, so Im about to buy a new set of tyres and looking at the very small selection here in South Oz I'll probably go either the Bridgestone T31's or Pirelli Angel GT's.
(Also found Dunlop RoadSmart III avaliable in 120Fr 150Rr )
Ive seen some of you guys put wider fronts and rears so Im considering my options:
Standard 110/80/18 Fr 140/70/18 Rr
Larger 120/70/18 Fr 160/60/18 Rr
Mixed 110/80/18 Fr 160/60/18 Rr
The Pirellis Angel's only come in a 120 Fr and 160 Rr at my local tyreshop
Any one have oversized or oversized combos they like or dislike?
Cheers
(Thanks for the PM help Corm)

I've used Michelin 120/160 combo since 2013. No issues, but they are no longer available here so just ordered the Angel GTs in 110/160 sizes. I'd have ordered 110/140 if they had been available

I do like my 120 PR 4 better than the 110 PR 3 I had on my 2013 and 2014 . ONnthe back I run 150 Continentals.

LOL truthfully I went in to order std sizes, found out the rear only came in 160, so went with std front oversize rear. Only reason I can think of. Not because I was unhappy with the 120 front Michelin. if I had been thinking I probably would have upsized the front too. Really frustrated with finding something to replace the Michelins which I run on everything..all bikes, all cars, my truck..I am a Michelin guy.

Ferret, did you ever contact Michelin US? The website says they're still available.

No Cormanus, I checked several suppliers who said they were no longer available. My local dealer checked a couple of his suppliers but none had any either.
