S20 Performance, and Best Tire size
Hello guys , I'm about to change my tires, the only available here is the bridgestone battlax s20. has anyone ever used s20?
First, I want to know its wet performance (some review only stated the dry performance which is pretty good). Maybe some of guys ever tested in ninja250. Second, I want to know about the tire size, since the smallest size of s20 are only available in 110/70 Front and 120/60 Front. And 150/60 Rear. the rim is 2.75" Front , so 110/70F would fit best. 120/60F can fit in but it is not good (out of tolerance). the rear has to be 150/60 (yes It way out the 3.5" rear rim tolerance, but that is the smallest rear tire size of s20). so my question is, which one is better (not best ): 110/70F + 150/60R or 120/60F + 150/60R ? thanks in advance

Why are you limited to the S20? Given the choices you listed, 110/70 on the front, 150/60 on the rear is the best option. But not sure why those are the only options, with all of the better suited rubber now available for these bikes.

You have access to the Internet, order whatever you want online & have them fitted at the local shop.
