Upgrading from stock tires.

Hey guys, I picked up a 2007 ninja 250r and am having a blast but the first thing I noticed is that the stock tires suck!

So I am on the hunt for a new set that well work for me.

Its gonna be a rain season here in Mi soon so good rain performance is a must.

I will really only use this bike to go to and from work witch is about 7 miles from home at about 45mph.

Thanks I did search and there seemed to be some conflicting info. but as some one who had a scooter tire blow out at 65mph I would not trust them on a bigger bike.

Nothing wrong with the Diablo scoots.

Good thing you didn't get a bigger bike. The Pirelli Diablo scooter tires are good low price tires with great grip. MT75s are in the same price and performance range but have a higher speed rating.
