Anyone have any experience running the Ninja in the snow? What type of tyres would be best suited for this? I'm thinking knobbies w/ studs.

I was able to find Kenda Trakmaster II in size 130/90-17 for the rear but none for front. This will be my first time doing tire shopping and changing so I'm still a noob with the numbers. But that 17 means it would fit on the 17" rim on the Ninja. I'm already running 130 stock IRC so that measurement is good. I'm not sure of the "90" part.

Also, anyone know +/- what's the allowed tire width for the front an rear tires? For example, right now I'm running IRC 110/70-17. Would a 100 or a 120 fit work out okay? What about the rear; +/- 10 would be GTG?

Also, anyone know how to work the sizing on this page: http://www.metzelermoto.com/web/cata...et_Enduro1.xml

4.60 - 17 62Q would translate to what width?

thx
