Tire Size

I am about due for a new front tire and a buddy of mine says he has a 120/65ZR17 lying around that he can get me for cheap...is this useable on the Busa?

Never heard of it being used. I run the 70

This would make the tire profile slightly shorter I believe and slightly lower the front

If your just looking for something round that rolls, it's usable. Actually, if your not into fast twisties, you'll probably never notice the difference. It'll lower your front a fraction of an inch and have a slightly rounder tread profile than a 70 series. Cruising around town or slabbing, it'll work fine.

I was hoping that was the only thing that would happen. Now I am just concerned about not having special matched tires. I know that is a whole topic that has been beat to death, but it is still something on my mind.

it wont hurt. i would stay with the 70 myself. the 65 will get you a flatter profile tire plus be slightly shorter in height
