I’ve done a lot of miles on the road and on track, but have never ridden on a 60 profile tyre. So In this video we recorded an experiment where we fitted a 200/60 17 Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP V4 tyre to the rear of our BMW S1000RR, a 2015/2016 K46 model. The original tyre on the rear is a 200/55 17.
Without making any geometry changes to the bike, I expected it would make the steering feel a little too fast because of the change in rake and trail, but to my surprise the handling was better than it has ever been.
This video provides specific details about how much the rear axle is raised with the profile change, how it handles on a test ride, and what we did to the preload adjustments on this bike. After the ride I spoke with Joe Salter from Ride Dynamics on the Gold Coast to get an understanding as to why the bike actually handled better with the higher profile tyre.
