Why 17-Inch Tires?


The 17-inch tire size is a popular choice for many sport bikes and supersport motorcycles like the CBR 600 for a few key reasons:



  • Improved Handling: Smaller 17-inch wheels provide better steering response and agility, which is important for the sporty, high-performance nature of the CBR 600.

  • Increased Stability: The larger tire contact patch on 17-inch wheels helps provide more stability and grip, especially at high speeds.

  • Tire Availability: 17-inch tires are a common size, making them widely available and affordable for replacement.


Overall, the 17-inch tire size is well-suited to the CBR 600's design and performance characteristics, offering an optimal balance of handling, stability, and practicality.
