Hi

New to the forum so go easy if its a dense question!

I recently bought a 2003 XVS 125 and although in good condition elsewhere, there is quite distinct cracking in the tyre walls front and back. Any 125 Dragstar riders out there able to offer a suggestion of a good tyre to replace them. The Yamaha dealer has suggested steering clear of Continental?

I don't really know much when it comes to tyres, but I commute 30 miles daily in all weathers and do longer distance over the weekends. Any suggestions???

Thanks.

Heidenau make tyres that fit. You can probably get them from Wemoto, or through your preferred tyre fitting place.

SAVA used to do the MC7 set for front and rear.
Metzeler also did the ME22/ME77 Classic set for front/rear respectively.

Both may still be available through your tyre fitter.

Bridgestone and Dunlop probably have some as well, though I don't know for sure.

Thanks for the info.

Has a look at the Heidenau's, may go with them.

Cheers

Hi

Cheers for that. Heard a lot of negativity with the Roadriders so will go viz ze Germans

Couldn't get them in the end so have ended up with Bridgestone
