I recently bought a 04 Honda NXR Bros 125 as a christmas present to myself to have a little fun on around the country roads.

The front tyre is close to its legal limit so i was wondering if anyone that knows anything about commuter tyres can tell me if i can get a decent set of cheap supermoto tyres to fit onto the rims since i will never go offroading i dont want knoblies on it.

The standard tyres are:
Front Tyre90 / 90 - 19 M/C 52P
Rear Tyre110 / 90 - 17 M/C 60P

Obviously i would benefit from supermoto tyres more since i never go offroading so a bit of help would be apretiated Smile

Not supermoto specifically for those sizes - but certainly pretty good road tyres.

Your tyre sizes aren't really ideal for decent dirt tyres either, for the record.
Most tyre manufacturers will do something appropriate I expect.

Best to go for fairly original sizes I reckon, but just for a more road biased design.

Generally the less spacing between the tread, the more road biased.

I'd go for one of the bigger brands.

I've happily got my knee down on a dr600 with some old random road rubber in dirt sizes - and that's with a 21" front.
