    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

          I won’t end up doing many miles on the bike I doubt anyway so that doesn’t matter as much. I’ve been looking at the Continental ContiAttack SM’s but they’re £205 a set😬

                  @SouthWalesYammy Just standard DTX wheel size 120 Fronts, 140 Rear - 70 - R17s

                  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,

                  Keep it real

                    The previous owner of my bike put 120 front, 130 rear -70-17s on and I’ve pretty much hit the edge of the rear.

                    Is the 140 rosso 2 much harder?
