Dose anyone know what is the widest rear tire I can put on a 95 CBR 600. It has a 160/60/17 on it right now. Thanks

If i were you I would stick with the 160, but you could put up to a 180 on there. It's a tight fit, though. 160 will give you your best performance, though, so...

just my .02

I dunno.. i looked at a 96 today, and there's alot less room in there than my '98.. I think 170 might be the max.. Just stick with the 160, it'll handle better anyways..

I agree, with what they both said, I went from a 170 down to a 160 and I am very happy with the result...All except I got a screw in it after about 400 miles and I need to buy another one but it will be a 160 as well! I have a 95 also.
