- New to the site...just was wondering if anyone can tell me what's the best size rear and front supermoto tires to get for my wr250r 2016....I just bought warp9 rims. The tires I bought are pirelli diablo Rossi 2 size. 110/70r17 for front. Rear is a 140/70r17.. not I don't plan to go off road. Strictly street. I just want some opinions if the tire width is to small. Should I have went 120 front and 150 rear??
your best to use search or re-post as a separate thread ...
here's some general info I have ...
Stock WR250R wheels/tires
Front
Wheel size: 1.60 x 21
Tire: 80/100-21 51P (3.00/3.25)
Bridgestone TW301 51P 698mm OD 83mm TW
Rear
Wheel size: 2.15 x 18
Tire: 120/80-18M/C 62P (4.00/4.10)
Bridgestone TW302 62P 654mm OD 119 TW
Load ratings of 51 and 62 correspond to 430 lbs and 584 respectively. Yamaha says 400 lbs max, if I recall correctly.
A "P" speed rating is 94 mph/150 kph - I guess Yamaha had our top speed dialed...
A little more info on tire sizes and decoding:
Permissible Rim Widths For Tire Width
(stock rims 1.60 on the front, and 2.15 on the rear)
