If i get a 120 for the front, it will be a 120/60. Lower height so as to make sure there is enough clearance and no rubbing.

I asked about 120/60 in the question, so I think ppl who answered were referring to 120/60 too.

Are you thinking of getting a BT-S20 for your Ninja 250 too? Which size?

Right now motorcycle tires seem to be on sale everywhere, so I'm thinking of getting the BT-S20's. After all the research, I've decided on the 120/60 front and 150/60 rear. Hope they are as good as everyone is saying and end up being worth it.

Yeah, I'm definitely getting a set over the winter. I'm going 160/60 and 120/60. I've acquired a 4.5 inch rear wheel so we will see how it pans out.

Did you need to do any mods to get the 4.5 inch rear wheel fit ? How much did it cost?

Haven't fitted it yet. But, it's plug and play.

Hi,

Just about to buy these S20 tires with the new season starting. thinking of 120/60 in the front and and 150/60 in the rear.

When you had the 150 rear on it, was it with the stock rim or did you get a wider rim ?

Thnx

What size S20 do you have on the rear? Is it with a stock rim or a wider rim ?

How long did they last you? Commuting, canyons, track? I'm hesitant to get these tires since I commute so damn much but I want that traction in the canyons!
