what would be best for my hyosung, the standard "shinko" tyres are solid hard profile and dont seem to warm up ever! they are nasty and unsafe lol
150/70/17 on back and 110/70/17 on front. its a 125 so im not going to be going silly speeds lol but i want more grip.
Any reccomendations (dont want to pay more than £150 for a pair tho, the cheaper the better)
seem some Avon HKM AM51 110/70-17 54H & & AM52 150/70-17 69H for £89 but worried they might be pants??

Thanks

I have bridgestone BT45 and I like them. Very natural tyres.

Conti Avenue 110/70 x 17" and 150/70 x 17" H rated tyres are ideally suited to fit the Hyosung Comet GT125 and GT125R. When purchased in a pair they are especially good value for money and an excellent improvement on standard.


linky £115.00

Going to tyre maker's site and checking the tyre matrix (like racing<-->touring ) will help you. I think iooi's suggestion is great for it's price.
