Re: [St] Lower-profile tires?

[Nathan Maher <nate@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Patti,

Be very careful with trying to select a lower-profile tire.  I know that 
I once got a pair of tires for the RS (they were given to me to use for a 
track day) that had a different profile, I think they were Sportec M1's. 
 It felt like the bike wouldn't turn in to a degree that I actually 
stopped the bike to check and see if something was wrong.  Ultimately 
these tires proved more stable mid-corner (held a line better) but the 
increased turn-in effort was shocking and pretty undesirable.

And more importantly I don't think that you'll find tires with a profile 
that's different enough to matter regarding overall ride height.

Best of luck in your search,

Nate
