Can anybody recommend some tyres that would be decent in the wet to put on my kymco?

Front is 2.75 18, rear is 3.50 16.

Crossply tyres?

2.75 inch - 70mm width
3.50 inch - 90mm width

Guessing aspect ratio will be 70?

70/70 - 18
90/70 - 16

Find what ever comes in those sizes on a tyre website? Razz

Most 'Big Brand Name' tyres will work equally well in the wet.
But it can be a very personal thing depending on lots of things like how hard you are prepared to push things on wet roads.

I like Metzlers and I like Continetals Metzlers last longer than Continentals. So the trade-off was the cost/mile.

You could waste half a lifetime trawling through Tyre reviews with little gain.
