Default All about the Looks 98 600F3

Im not really to much into the hauling a__ thing. Dont get me wrong i love to wax the little brats that got Daddys car out for the night. But really enjoy how heads turn when just cruising by. Im looking for advice on weather or not to throw out the 160 tire and get the 180 or what size would look good?????

I'd stay with the 160, after a season that 180 is going to look retarted having a1.5"~2.0" flatspot down the middle and full tread on the sides.

Well, the reason your tireisflat in the middle is because you're in Central Wisconsin.
Around the Wausau, Rapids,Marshfield area are we NorthernFire?

You'll need to go across the state towardsthe Prescott, Mondovi,Tremplealeauareato solveyour "full tread on the sides" issue.

Javier Bardemhas something to say about your tire issue NorthernFire.

I'd listen to Javier.
Thetrees should be changing colors there right about now and the seasons drawing to a close. You're running out of time.

Little more east of there, but the 180 on the F3 dosen't form right on the rim and cornering is a bitch. The 160 cuts corners like butter and I barley have a chicken strips now. The 160 will wear better than the 180...unless your in the great plaines.

And damn do I wish I could get away from the daddy life for a while so my girl and I could hit up some nice twistys...anywhere

Just stick with stock, Honda does some awesome engineering and if they intended to have anything larger than a 160, I'm sure they would have spelled it out in literature. Yeah the 160 may look kinda skinny, but who cares about looks over preformance...oh, it was already spelled out.

But trust me, I had a 180 from the start, and corners scared the **** outta me from how it handled...put a 160 on this spring and corners were a blast and the F3 preformed the best as ever! No one notices the rear tires unless they are judgemental ***~holes that probably get passed up for riding like ******.

These answers helped me solve that question, 160 it is. Now what are some good choices for the 160? Thanks for the help.
