I think large part of "issues" people report with front-end is that 110/150 tyre combo has mismatched profiles. You're at edge of front-tyre while rounded rear has more room to lean. A 140/70 rear would be better match for 110/70 front. I've found lowering front-pressure and having just 1-2 psi difference F/R really improves balance. Still would be best to get 140/70 rear.
Horrible bastards! I'm switching to Pirelli !!! |
There is nothing inherent in the 140 profile that makes it a better match than a 150 for the 110 front . That is a matter of using the correct rim width and as I mentioned before, I put the 300 ninja 4" wide rim on the rear so that I wouldn't have a pinched profile. That is the rim width that Dunlop recommends for the A13 150.
When I switch back to the Pirellis I will use the 140 rear as I did before and go back to the stock 3.5" rim width.
The 140 rear Pirelli never gave me issues with grip, so there is no advantage to using the 150. In fact there is a disadvantage because the 150 tire weighs more which adversely affects acceleration.
