Can anyone recommend me a Good pair for my Dtr125 1999? I would like more grip offroad then onroad but not to much, My tyres now are the originals make i think, Both are bridgestone but my Rear tyre has gone bold in the middle and it was brand new 4500miles ago and my front is nearlly illegle
tis what ive got .. holds me on the sloped mud lane near my house (thats "unsuitable for motorvehicles" i put that to the test:D) even in the wet, and grips me to the road just fine :) pretty free rolling with the clutch in too, was quite surprised tbh lol are TW301 and TW302 the standard tyres? whats the legal wear on the tyres?
Im gona give this Vee rubber VRM156 a go.. dead cheap! half the price of a TW302
even tho i have got 6mm still left on the current wheel. this one is going on before the winter is here.
I've them tires on my bike,i think there ok for green laning but i'm not overly impressed with them going through trails in the trees & dampish muck...i couldn't get back up a smallish slope and had to struggle getting the bugger across ditches(never again with these tyres)
Very good on the road in wet or dry conditions and i hammer it on the road every Sunday with the big boy biker dudes.
Personaly i'm looking for maybe Michelin AC10 tyres in the future here's a very good site on tyres & explanation on performance etc... http://www.sidcupmotorcycletyres.co.uk/trail.htm
