I had no issues with outright traction on either. And that was at the race track. I mean either your in hot and the front pushes or it doesn't eh? I did notice the feel of the 70 being better on turn in due to the different profile. It was tippy even with the suspension adjusted. By that I mean countersteering it onto its side felt somehow better than the 60. More aggressive or confident. Perhaps it was just a placebo effect that gave me more confidence knowing there was extra traction there if I needed it.

This despite most of my front end slide experience came on worn 70 series tires. I did have more laps on the 70 than the 60 so there were more opportunities for front slides. Probably 9 outta 11 races were on the 70 series that year and I have never raced on anything but a 70 since. My ZX636 came with teh 65 size OEM but I converted to 70 with the very first set....
