For better traction and as much surface area for a contact patch as possible. The previous tire was a 170/65 dunlop slick. The previous bike owner bought the 160 n threw it in the deal with the bike. However he didnt calculate the correct size tire, but luckily I got it to fit. BTW my wheels are the standard 17" sportbike size, the rear is only about 5" wide similar to a ninja 250 or even an SV.
