    hi all,

    Any of you guys know what the biggest tyre sizes I can use on Megelli 250r SE without changing stock rims?
    Any advise on good rubber also appreciated. I live in Hong Kong, it gets hot and rainy.....

    Cheers
    Martin

    You might get away with a 150 rear?? But id say if your running 110 on front and 140 on back id keep it that way. good options available in that size

    Pirelli Diablo Rosso II


    Pirelli Super Corsa


    Dunlop Alpha 13/14

    all depends on what your wanting from the tyre. race days? track days? general commuting ect. if its all round i'd say Pirelli Diablo Rosso II

    prob true but the question is are they getting enough heat into the tyre for it to be effective? is it fouling on anything?

    Im sure with the Indo climate you wouldn't have to warm up the tyres too much to achieve optimum performance.....
