Been a reader for a while just registered and here I am. I always said that I would never join a club that would have me as a member… but here I am. There is a first time for everything, including me asking for advice.
I’m currently riding a DT125RE (04) which has Michelin T63 road legal tyres factory fitted. These are the ONLY tyres Yamaha recommend for this ride. I never “ride off road” am just a lover of the DT!
Now half worn I'm looking to replace these tired tyres but after having felt the back end slip away a little once upon a corner, I’m tempted to fit road tyres. I’m now convincing myself that these T63 tyres are no good for 100% road use.
I have toyed around with the idea of fitting wheels from a DT125X (the “supermoto” styled thing) but the forks will need changing to suit the oversize disc and calliper etc… it all seems a little toooooooooooooo much a carry-on, and expense.
So, have we any ideas?
Thanks for reading chaps and I look forward to you wading through all of the replies!
