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.

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. |

IMO the sport demons are pretty good, i was riding in a rain storm the other day and still had tremendous grip.

How about a 582cc scooter? It's got more power than our ninjas
