what is the biggest tire i can put on my rear of my 94 f2 600

RE: tire size
 

Probly a 160 or 170, depending on what it came with. Generally, you can shoe horn one size bigger on, but it will adversley affect handling, so why bother? The cool factor of a wider tire at the expense of a slower handling machine? Just my .02

ya i wasent doing it to be make it look cool i thought it would handle better.........

If that is the case, stick with the stock size. Im sure Honda dumped alot of money into R&D to figure out what tire size worked best for handling and came up with the one you have. If you have more money than Honda to do your own quest, feel free. Alot of Liter bike riders at the track actually step down from a 190 to 180 to help reduce turn in effort. The 01-02 Gixxer 1000 is the only one that this might not be a good idea on as it has 6in rim as opposed to a 5.5in rim on the new ones.

Stop posing.

180 "fits" but poorly and its dangerous.

170 is ok, not optimal

160 is perfect.

If you wear a size 9 shoe and you need to run from a deranged lunatic, would you rather have a size 9 shoe, size 10, or size 11?

Speaking from trial and error, my F2 handled a heck of alot better with the stock 160. I have a 170 on now and I can't lean near as with the 160! Stick with stock, trust me there, I wasted 2 bills thinking bigger was better. Must've been the testosterone!

Alright thanks for the input guys

RE: tire size
 

My rear is 150/70 and my front is 120/70. I am not very familar with tires, should I move up to a 160? Thats what it sounds like I am hearing. And if so where do people recommend getting tires from? I have been looking online but maybe someone knows a super great place to get some.

thanks,
dan

Keep in mind that your rim is designed to work with a certain tire, and your steering geometry is designed to work with a certain height and width tire. The stock size is definately best.

Motorcycle Accessory Warehouse is a good place to get tires. Keep in mind that if you bring an ad into your local dealer, a lot of them will match advertised prices, and often have your tire in stock. If you keep your business with a local dealer religiously, it can pay big dividends in your future, I know it does in my store.

Anyway, I just bought a set of Pirelli Diablos for mine (an EXCELLENT choice of tire BTW) for $190 a set.
