    Hi,

    This time I'll post with a little more information:

    Bandit 600 (S).

    Two new tyres the other day.

    Did have Dunlop D207s but now on D208 instead (as they'd none in).

    Manual says 120/60 on front, Dunlop reckon 120/70 - which is correct?

    Manual says 36/33 psi, Dunlop say 41/36 - which is correct?

    TIA

    Indeed. But why shouldn't I have 120/60 for D207 (which is what I actually
    have).

    Effective difference?

    Because it's easier to ask in here.

    What difference to ride/handling will the change in profile mean between
    120/60 and 120/70?

    That advice concurs with what my tyre fitter told me when he fitted the
    Avons to the Zephyr.
    He phoned Avon for confirmation, and wrote it all down on the receipt.
