    My friend has a 2003 R6 he is bringing to the track and he has to buy tires. Nobody I know of makes a race tire in a 120/60 and he does not want to mess with the height of the fork tubes. Suspension is all stock. Would there be any major ill effects from running a 120/70 front with no ride height changes. Btw, tires are metzeler rennsport which I hear normally you need to adjust 10mm for. Any advice helps....thanks

    Be careful that the tire does not hit the fender while at speed. they like to grow and start to rub then you get a nice hole in your fender
