Best tyres For an NSR125 r1 2002

[Danzio]

Hi Looking for some new tyres for my NSR125r1 2002 model seeing as i have a slow puncture in my rear and can't ride, fast.....or far

so there are 2 options, the cheapest being to just replace the back one with anotherof the same brand, Michelin pilot sport or the more expensive option replace both tyres for a new more grippy (if there is any) set.

get back to me with your opinions, my bro uses pirelli sport demon's and swears by em' but im sceptical, i can put loads of trust in my current tyres and they inspire confidence on corners but HAVE let me down in the wet leading to a slow lowside spill.

thanks and regards,

Dan

Go wit a new set of pirelli's..,I promise you wont look back..and if you cant afford them at least get one on the front.I got a set about two weeks ago for my nsr and they made a huge improvement..

continental conti-sports, I've used mine nearly 5k miles and they have loads of tread left, can't fault them, will buy another pair when I need a new set, probably gonna be a while,
