    Im running a 120 pirelli front and a 165 rear on my aprilia rs250 (3.5 front and 4.5 rear) they seem to work really well.

    As Jay pointed out, those tyres will work, but are not the optimal sizes.
    120 for the 3.5" front is good, but the 165 is a bit much for the 4.5" rear.
    They will slow down the steering of the bike a touch.
    But options are a wee bit limited.

    It was actually the front I was more concerned about. While a 5" rim would be ideal with the 165, the 4.5" does fit in the recommended sizing range, and that with a 3.5" front and a 120 on it should be mint!

    100% Correct, works really well
