Well Hello..I have a 1995 Kawasaki (duh) ZX-600 E. and I noticed the rear tire is looking bad. Well, I wanna get a new one but I was thinking can I stick a fatter tire on the back? If I do will it effect my handling and how? and Just anything else on this subject thanks.

You typically can go 1 size up on tires from OEM recommendations. You can run into some safety issues beyond that due to stresses placed on the sidewall of the tire as it was not designed to fit certain size rims.

Need to look at the tire manufacturer for the specifications for your particular application to be sure though.

My stock size is 160/60/17 so it'll be okay if i put on a 170/60/17? thanks

if you want a bigger size then go up in size both ways. go to a 170/70/17 if they make one. that way you wont be pinching it as bad as you would a 170/60. :wink:
