I have thought to change the rear tire of my vfr honda, but the previous owner apparently had a smaller tire, please, I might advise that number of tire brand will look better and I use it for long trips

If it is for your 750 then it is a 170/60/17. I have only put 1500 miles on them but am very happy with the Metzler Roadtec Z8

Provide us with the year of the VFR that you have. As the second poster stated some 750s have a 170 rear tire.

Tell us also a little about the roads where you ride and the "long trips" ad rate the following from most important to least important in how you ride and value tires:

Long tire life

Cold weather grip

Wet weather performance

Ultimate performance grip

Cost

If you reorder these to suit your most important criteria for judging then we can point you in a direction for a good quality tire that compromises to suit your needs best.

By the way, welcome aboard!
