New Rear Tyre on CBR125r

Post by CornishGreig »

Just went and got the bike serviced....and, 70 quid later, i have been told i've not got long left on the rear tyre :( Any recommendations on what brand to get?

On the plus side, I have an even tread across 90% of the width, only 'lil chicken strips :P

What size tyre are you running?
Also what you use it for commuting or just toy?

Diablo rosso ll is proving quite good in all conditions and nice and grippy in the sun. They do them in your size too
