Default stock size tire recomendations?

Unlike most out there I do not want to change the size of my tires or rims for my 93. Unfortunitly I'm left with very few options for that peskey 16" front wheel. I've had Dunlops on there and am not impressed at all. I'm thinking about the Michelin Pilot Sports, but I can't find any indepindant info on these. I'm also having a hard time finding someone who will supply these in the sizes I need. Any tire suggestions or names of suppliers would be most usefull, I've just about rung the life out of my Dunlops.

Thanks

I recently put Pirelli Diablo's on my bike and I love them. They are somewhat expensive (116 for the front and 160 for the rear) but they do come in the sizes you want. Check out http://www.chaparral-racing.com/Chap...asp?URLCheck=1

I've ran the Dunlop 208's and the Metzler M1's. I love the M1's. They handle great and warm up very quick.

This is why you gotta go with the 17' front wheel.

the 17" conversions on the 93-95 will negatively effect turn in on the bike. The rake is wrong. The bike's setup is great, ok so I loose out on 170mph stablity, but I'm never at those speeds anyway.
