Currently I am using a Modenas(Kawasaki) Z250 ABS 2022 and they come with stock 140/70-R17 tyres Dunlop
1. Thinking of changing the stock tyres to better ones since they suck when it rains. Any recommendations for tyres?
Been looking at Michelin Road or Pilot Road 5/6 and I know these are "overkill" for a 250cc but I dont want to cheap out on what's helping me stick to the road or cause me to hydroplane during rainy usage. but the only stock available are 150/70 or 150/60 instead of 140/70 for the rears.
2. Should I upsize and use 150/70 or 60 instead but then do I need to change my stock rims?
3. If I am upsizing my rears, are the fronts fine with stock 110/70-R17 or should I upsize that as well to 120/70?'''
Those are my questions. Do tell if I miss any important points.
Do note, I am a new rider with no experience prior to two weeks ago. Educate me as you see fit as you might help me from regretting doing something dumb.
thank you and have a nice day
I've only heard of people using wider tyres at the back but have never heard of someone planning to re-size the front...do share your feedback once you've done it. How does it feel? But it's not like a car ya where it is common to upsize just by ensuring the overall diameter doesn't change. BTW, standard original supplied Dunlop tyres generally aren't too good. 1.
