Tire Size Question

[bluespecv03]

Ive been lookin at tires and I see that for the front, a 120/70 tire is considerably cheaper than the 120/65 tire that I need. Is there really that big of a difference or would I be ok getting the 70 series tire and saving some money?

Get the 120/70, the bike will feel much better with it.

Thanks! How much would you charge to mount a set of tires for me? I just got a quote for 125 which I think is ridiculous!

if you go to his shop and do the work with his help...it won't be that much, but he charged me 10$ if you bring him the rim...so your better off doing the work or you can wait about a week and I can probably do it for you...
