I got 260 miles out of them before I took them off. Yes, this is my first bike.

I came to the conclusion that the 60s would be wider after looking at quite a few forums w/ threads about putting wider tires on the bike. The general concensus that I saw was that the shorter profile of the 60s vs the taller 70s would flatten out the tires and cause them to pinch on the rim less, but that they would become wider, thus potentially causing some rubbing on the swingarm. My main concern was to avoid the tire making contact w/ the swingarm and hurting the integrity of the tire.

Maybe I am wrong. I don't claim to have any expertise in this area, but I did do quite a bit of research before buying them and I saw numerous threads that mentioned that a 70 would fit while a 60 would potentially cause problems, so I decided to go w/ the 70.
