Hi guys,
What tyres would you lot recommend for a DT125X? Want something sticky and good in the dry, I never ride in the rain so that doesn’t matter to me.
TIA

Good all round tyre, and when it does rain, enough groves to clear some water.
But you will struggle to feel the limit of the tyre with standard suspension on the DTR or X to be fair. Just to soft for me.
These tyres heat up properly which is nice,

Is the 140 rosso 2 much harder?
