Hi Guys, Will be buying tyres for my Mk2 125 shortly . What make a tyre range should I be on the look out for? Std are: 80/100-16 45P Front 90/90-18 51P Rear I see Norbo sells: Michelin M45 or Pirelli Demons. Are these a good choice? Many Thanks Andrew

Hi Andrew
ive just put Pirellis on mine,in slightly wider sizes from the skinny standard ones as my bikes non std,michelin m45,s are ok but abit budget really ive got them on my fizzy!!..lol.Gotta admit tho bikes not on road yet so no chance to try em out....
i thought for an extra twenty quid id rather have good grip/more modern tyres/compounds?
end of day its personal taste i guess?
cheers
matt

my 175cc rd125lc had 90/90/16 front and 110//90/18 rear and handled reasonably well, i cant remenber the exact model of tyre but they were tubless pirellis with inner tubes fitted as the valve hole in the wheel is different size to that of a tubless valve
