front tire size?
 

right now i have a 170/60/17 on the rear, and a 130/70/16 on the front.They are both dunlop qualifiers. i need to replace the front tire, and want to make sure the size i choose will be the best for street use. Do i need to stick with the dunlop when choosing a front tire? Also how hard is the front tire to get off to take into a shop and have tires switched? i took the rear tire off without any problems, but the front looks more complicated.
Thanks for the help

mines a 120/60/17....im pretty sure thats stock size....front tire is so easy to get off..5 minutes tops

I didn't have any trouble getting the front wheel off to change the tire. Stock front for an F3 is 120/60, but a lot of people like the handling with a 120/70. You could search the forum, since this has been discussed before.

so is it going to make a big difference if i go with a different brand than the rear? it would be the same ratings, like zr...

They say you shouldn't mix brands because the profile of the tires might not be compatible, i.e. one brand is more rounded, another is more pointed.It's your call, though.
