What drivers say about their 185/60 R17 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
These are a great tire for your bike. Warm up fast, get nice and sticky and feel great on. My only issue with them is when they are cold (in the first few minutes of riding) they're quite slippy. Lucky they warm up fast really!
