I can't really answer that one for ya, JK...but you should swing over to http://www.svrider.com/ and ask around there. You're likely to get at least a few useful hits there.

:iagree: that's where I sold 85% of my sv parts! I always ran the 120/60/17.

I understand where you are trying to get at JK. I know when I had the metzler front tire the freakin curve on the tire just dropped off flat which cause me to have hardly any curve to ride on in a tight turn. That all changed when I went with the Pirelli Diablo I had a nice smooth rounded edge to ride on in a tight turn.
I'm not so sure a 70 series would fix the problem! The tire will flex a little more, but I think it all depends on the way the curve of the tire is shaped.

The brand has allot to do with it. Some have a round profile while others have a sharp profile.

my metz was a POS!!!!

I went to a 120/70 for the first time 2 weeks ago. It took me a whole day of riding at the gap to get use to it. I like the 120/70 a lot more over the 120/60. I can really manover the bike a lot faster and get down a lot lower with the 120/70.
