Triumph Daytona 660 Tyre Size
The Daytona 660 runs a 120/70/17 front tyre and a 180/55/17 rear tyre.
By clicking the links above you’ll be taken to a list of every tyre we sell in that size. However, below you will find some of our best options for the ‘baby’ Daytona.
Here at Two Tyres we specialise in motorcycle tyres and we’re a manufacturer-approved fitting centre. We can supply any motorcycle tyre to you by mail order or you can have them fitted in our London motorcycle workshop.
Most Daytona owners use their bike for weekend thrills but they’re more than capable of doing everything from commuting to a European tour to trackdays. It makes sense to fit a quality tyre that’ll warm up quickly, offer plenty of edge grip and return good mileage. A budget tyre won’t cut it on this model.
Triumph Daytona 660 History
When you consider the Daytona 660’s older siblings; the Daytona 675 and Street Triple, plus their foray into Moto2, you might look at the 660’s spec sheet and come away feeling a little underwhelmed.
Yes, on paper the Daytona 660 is a lesser-spec, with less power than the Daytona 675 and a watered-down spec but at its heart is Triumph’s epic three-cylinder layout, the only triple in its class and a fundamental part of why the Daytona series is so good.
The 660 might feel watered-down to those used to the 675 but when you approach it from the opposite side, it’s a serious contender. Sub 100bhp, softer suspension and brakes make it a superb first sportsbike for any rider on their way up the motorcycling ladder.Â
Factor in the price sticker and the running costs and you’ve got a brilliant bike for real UK conditions, whether that’s the daily commute or a Sunday blast.Â
Yes, it won’t keep up with a Daytona 675 but that’s not the Daytona 660’s mission brief.

Daytona 660 Stock Tyres
The 660 model comes with Michelin Power 6 tyres as standard.
Triumph Daytona 660Â Best Tyres
You might be able to chip the Daytona 660 for being a ‘budget’ sportsbike but one thing that’s anything but budget are the stock tyres. Michelin Power 6 are sportsbike tyres from the top-drawer.
However you might prefer a different tyre brand or you might want a tyre that’s better suited to commuting, touring or trackdays.
Fast Road Riding
If you’re a weekend thrill-seeker and you want a tyre that’s perfectly suited to the UK’s road and weather conditions, these are some great choices. We’ve chosen a mix of top-tier and older generation, so you can save a few quid if you don’t want the absolute latest tech.
Michelin Power 2CT – if you like the Power 6 but want something cheaper
Trackdays
If you’re riding to trackdays or just vanning the bike there, these tyres will give you all the edge grip you need to stay at the sharp-end whatever group you’re in.
Michelin Power GP2 – A firmer, gripper Power 6
Commuting / Touring
If you want the ultimate in fast warm-up, wet weather ability and mileage then check out these sports-touring tyres. If you’re riding in all weathers or planning that European trip, they’re worth considering.
Michelin Road 6 – Not as precise as a Power 6 but these have an seriously fast warm-up and are amazing in the wet.
Daytona 660 Tyre Pressures
You can find your motorcycle manufacturer’s recommended tyre pressures in your owner’s handbook. You’ll also find a tyre pressure chart sticker on the swingarm.
If you have no idea what pressures to run, this is our general rule:
Scooter: F 30psi, R 30psi
Normal Motorcycle: F 36psi, R 42psi
Big Tourer: F 42psi, R 42psi
125cc Bike: F 33psi, R 36psi
You should always check your tyre pressures when the tyres are cold. Check out our range of motorcycle tyre pressure gauges here.

Are your tyre pressures letting you down?
We couldn’t find a tyre pressure gauge that was well-built, easy to get on-and-off the valve without pressure loss and could stand up to day-to-day abuse in our workshop. So we found a manufacturer to build one to our exacting standards.
We’re confident this is the best motorcycle pressure gauge out there. That’s why it comes with a 3-year, no-nonsense, money back guarantee.
