120/60/17.
The issue you will find is that you won't be able to find many smaller tires that will pass tech.

Righto. 120/60. Those skinny little front slicks may be ok at the strip but definately won't make it through tech while on a ZX12, plain and simple you need Z rating, good condition and at Maxton it can't be over 10 years old.
I had a Diablo 120/60 on my 12 back in the day, no issues.

Michelin 120/60 is the suppose to be the smallest circumference.

That is what I am running now. But I have also run 120/60 Dunlops with good results. Both tires stable over 200 mph as long as you set the chassis up properly.
