Overall, Moto3 slicks are fastest tyres you can get for 250. They’re lighter and much stickier than stock. Less weight gives you faster acceleration coming out if corners. And there’s a slight aerodynamic benefit too due to less tyre shoving air aside.
Hello DannoXYZ and thank you for the warm welcome.

Thank you also for the great insight and confirmation on the moto3’s. I am surely going to purchase a set for this season, thanks to your kind and detailed feedback.

Thanks again!
