Hello there, I have done 24,000 kms on my FZ25 and now the tyres are due for change.
I have few questions!
Are radial tyres really necessary for a 250 cc bike that is mostly ridden in city sometimes in highway and never does track days? ( I'm not eager to corner hard and touch road with knee on highways)
Here in Nepal not a lot of trusty sellers selling good tyres. Choices I have are:
Apollo Actizip r5 140/70 -17 -Npr 4500
Apollo Alpha s1 140/60-r17 - Npr 6000
Apollo Alpha h1 150/60-r17 - Npr 7500
Among these three which one should I go?
If I go with radials 140/60 or 150/60?
150/60 is closer to the 140/70 size but obviously wider by 10 mm. Also what will I loose if I go for 140/60 tyres?
Or should I just keep things simple and go with Actizip R5?
Any other suggestion guys? Below are the comparison chart for different tyre sizes.
