alright, i got a hawk gt and it's factory tire size says 110/80/R17 and 150/70/R17 Rear. Since Pirelli is running the buy one tire get one free promotion, i'm thinking about picking up a set. But, the problem is they only have 110/70/R17 fronts and 150/60/R17 rear. Will this set up work or will there be handling problems? Would there be any other adverse affects?

If you go with the shorter profile tires, your hawk will handle different than what you're accustomed to.

It's up to you whether the handling is adversely affected or not.

I put a 140/70-17 on my Hurricane that's supposed to have a 130/80-17 and noticed the difference in handling. It's not as stable when you get it leaned over.

Go with a 160 in the rear. They are designed for the Hawk's 4.5" rim, and I think you'll be happy with the preformance. As for the front, I refer you to the Hawk FAQ : http://www.hawkgt.com/kb/article.aspx?id=10047 . Seems to be a thing that has been done before.
