Better rubber for Ninja 250r
Looking for a good set of tires to replace the useless OEM rubber. The rear tire size is a bit tricky, but Sava MC25 Bogart supermoto tyre is available in 100/80-17 (52R) and 130/70-17 (62R), there's no 110/70-17 front available. The recommended tire size for the Ninja is 110/70-17 M/C (54S) and 130/70-17 M/C (62S). I'm talking about the Euro model, but I guess it's the same for other markets also.
Does anyone have experience on the Sava tyre? Any comments on the front tyre size and speed rating, would it make any difference on road or in track use? I'm looking for the best possible dry grip the money can by and decent wet grip. This tyre is pretty cheap, just wondering what's the catch here.
I've been thinking about the Pilot Sporty and Sport Demon also, but (without any experiece) I think they might be too much on the sport touring side.
