Hi, my rear tire probably won’t have enough tread left to pass tech for tech inspection for the first track day in the fall after plans to ride two up a lot this summer but my front should have plenty of meat on the bone.
I’m running Rosso 3s in 120/60/r17 and 160/60/r17 on an 06 SV650s with a YSS rear shock (stiff spring set up not sure of the numbers) and Racetech .90 springs and 15wt oil up front. Like the tire profile but want to move to the 4s since the 3s tend to push in bends below 50° until you really get them warmed up (highway riding doesn’t seem to do it fully only cornering) and that seems to be the major improvement with the 4s.
Anyone have experience with both tires and can comment if the profiles are similar enough to just swap the rear? I’ll have some street time on the set up before my first track day with it but would prefer not having to bin a perfectly good tire up front or buy the older 3s if they’re practically the same profile. I’m in Arizona so won’t have to worry about ambient temps dropping below 50 before the front wears out anyways.
