But the Hoosier/Conti were about ~650mm dia and the Pirelli's are 680mm dia, so could it be that the diffference in a baggier tyre (taller sidewall and possibly substantially different construction) means more suspension effect in the tyre and you need to run a much stiffer setup on bar to take account of it ??
