Tyres for thin rims?

timmyrocks · Post by **timmyrocks** » Sun Jul 17, 2011 6:39 pm

Hey guys I'm looking for some tyres to suit some rims off a 250.
Standard sizes are 110/70-17 and 140/70-17 although there will be plenty of room to fit a 150 rear

Cheers

For older bikes with somewhat "skinny" tires I like the Dunlop 501 GT.

Also have had good luck with Avon Roadrunners.

Bridgestone.
Whites racing products sells em.

or you can get Dunlop alpha 10's or whatever.

Pirelli supercorsa come in small sizes too.

Just don't go the m3's. I just couldn't trust them on full lean.

I am using an alpha rear on the KTM.

timmyrocks · Post by **timmyrocks** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 9:42 am

140 or 150? What's the rim width??
Is the front a 120 on the KTM?

Blurr · Post by **Blurr** » Mon Jul 18, 2011 10:49 am

yep front 120 and the rear is a 150.

Wheel rear wheel is a 5.5inch tho, to big

My rear wheel is 4.25 inch wide.
I have a 150 pilot race on there. But they don't exist anymore. I will be going for a 150 or 160 of whatever is sticky next time.

Hrm being cbr250 rims I can only do 110 front and max 150 rear, The rears 4" wide
Thinking of going with the alphas, or might see if whitei has bridgestone 090's heard anything about these??
