Who knows the best brand of supermoto tire to use for a 110? I know nothing about them. Last year i used a scooter tire and it hooked up pretty well but i want a real one this year. If anyone can help me out i would appreciate it.

Most lace up a 12" rim to the front hub and run Dunlop TT92's, size 100/90-12, on front and rear.

SL26 is absolute junk compared to a Dunlop TT92. there wont be a single SL26 on ANY grid at the nat'l championships this weekend.... and there'll be a ton of TT92's, sava's, vee rubber's, and bridgestone's.

Snugs987 · 07-29-2008, 07:15 PM

Do they make a TT92 in a 14"

If you want to really hook up in the dirt, pick any good gp tire of your choice. I bought a tire groover and made so good patterns down the middle. I'm telling you this is the best way to go, no matter what people tell you.

slide1in · 07-30-2008, 09:52 AM

And no 14" tt92

If you want to keep the 14" front, either toss on a Pirelli or a Michelin Pilot Sport SC. The Pirellis work, you just have to read the feedback properly, they push quite a bit, and the sidewalls have a lot of flex, but you can generally push them pretty far before they actually give. Note, they wear REALLY fast when pushed.

where would you even get these tires from? and are michellins better then the pirellis or cheaper? cause this thread has me thinking of the MoM races thats the only time i ride street dont want to break my pocket on tires lol

Luckystar64 · 07-30-2008, 10:36 PM

I use some Maxxis scooter racing tires which I swear by on my Metrakit roadracers. They slide more predictably than TT91's. Another good one is a Michelin Bopper. Calamari Racing uses them on their race bikes now.

If you want to get the Maxxis tires I told you about-- Call Soho Vespa. They can get them for you. Call Calamari for the Michelins. ---L*64

I ran the Michelins last year at MoM, they worked great. Not cheap, but worked. Of course I have never been on the street on a mini before, so maybe they sucked, but I don't think so.

ExplorHer · 07-31-2008, 09:16 AM

I'm looking to make my KLX110 street legal, and Michelin has a few different sizes of 14" tires. Which size would be best for my mostly stock 110? Thanks...

SDGKing · 07-31-2008, 02:54 PM

What size motard tire would you use on 1.6 rims? Would the pirelli 120/70/12 look like a balloon?

highho04 · 08-06-2008, 08:38 AM
