So...
Increase the front tyre width while keeping the rear tyre stock, we will get oversteering.
Increase the rear width while keeping the front tyre stock, we will get understeering.
I've tried 70/90F and 90/80R (lo-profile). The bike becomes slightly understeer, but I like this settings because I can open full throttle earlier during corner exit. However, due to slight understeer, going through consecutive S-curves need more braking skills (to shift the bike's weight to front and make the rear slides a bit).
For normal ride, js keep the front tyre as thin as possible. We only want the driving wheel (rear wheel) to have maximum grip on the road surface, so the power from engine can be transferred to the road efficiently. non-driving wheel adds extra frictional force to counter the acceleration.

you guys are absolutely correct.but i see no problem on 135LC, bcoz tayar cepat botak !! (my rear wheel 1/2 year once, front wheel 1 year once :-S)
tyre lifespan is 2 years. anything beyond 2 years, the rubber will expire (a.k.a. hardened). It's dangerous!!
