tyre interchange

Postby MichaelTorre » Fri Nov 08, 2013 4:35 pm

hello.
My TS 250 takes 3.00 by 16 and 3.50. x 16 tires, meaning 90/ 90 and 100/90 I suppose.
I have located Headenaue tires thankfully. ...... but.

I am wondering if the new lower profile tires will perform
better on the bike for example a 120/ 90 tire place of a 3.50 x 16 ?
Thanks.

the 120/90x16 may rub the rubber chain cover in some brands
