    I'm thinking of running them when I do the 17" swap. I don't do tons of miles. The 110 works out with the same roll out as stock.

    anyone know if 110 is too narrow for the cbr wheel?

    Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile
    110/70-17 3.0in 11.5in 23.1in 72.5in 874


    Specification Sidewall Radius Diameter Circumference Revs/Mile
    100/90-16 3.5in 11.5in 23.1in 72.5in 874

    I know the tires and wheels alone cost more than the bike is worth but BLAH.

    I can't answer your size question but specs look good at face value. Supercorsas are super expensive here but offer a REALLY plush ride if you can afford them and don't ride too many miles. Thet are the best riding tire I've ever used on the street, only complaint is that they seem to pickup stuff (ie flat producing stuff) rather easily as they are pretty soft when warm. It's always a tradeoff.

    I ran the supercorsa pros for 4 track days. They are ok. For the street? I will put them right next to the dunlop sportmax tires. Soft, good street riding grip and will last about 2500 miles tops.

    i've got a couple of used sets but they're 120/70-17 and 180/55 -17. the rear will be too big for an F2 wheel. a 160 maybe a 170 tops.

    wouldnt advise them for a street bike, unless you ride like a maniac you will have issues getting and keeping the required heat in them. Also, they arent great at heat cycling that street riding brings - would recommend the Rosso or Rosso Corse or DCIII if you prefer Pirellis. Dunlop Q2 is an excellent "very sporty" tire as well
