tires again (sigh)

Post by shane »

hello every body. i got my 906 last sept. and have put over 7,000km on her. which is not bad for ottawa canada. she is my daily ride and a delight. how much different will the handling be if i go to a 130/70/16 front? i have been lurking here for a while and you guys are amazing. i used that mille. thermostat idea and it went smoothly. so any help you can give me will be appreciated. thanks
