Darn. 110/70 front, 140/60 rear

alot. around 470$ IIRC

Double Darn. I've got a bit of saving to do

Shit frosty i have a 160 on my cbr600 i don't think it'll fit on the 250. But yeh you're looking at about $500 a pair fitted.

You may find a slightly better tire on the 250 is the dragons (not the corsas). They handle pretty similar to the dunlops, but dont go cold so suddenly (my only complaint with the dunlops). But they are both roughly about $250 each. The other thing I found that the dragons handled precision throttle control with a little more predicability (but thats personal choice). I enjoyed both sets of tires

What brand are they?

pirelli

Where can you get pirelli dragon 140s from? (I think thats the 250rr rear tyre size) I love them but haven't been able to find a place that sells them anymore

[TwoSeven]

From memory I think you run a 150 on the rear in pirelli. Cycletreads will have them, but you may have to order them in (doubt they'd have that in stock).

Yep you can but if you have any sense you wouldn't. Screws up the handling of them and makes them alot harder to turn in etc. Specially if you are using them for racing. Stick to the GPR70's and they will last you a decent amount of time. Only better alternate is some slicks.

had Dragons (MTR22's???) on my 400... found them to be a shit tyre... spin up way too much and couldnt get the power down... Go for the GPR70's full stop... superior tyre and will stick like shit to a blanket on a CBR250...

Streetstock rules prohibit slicks, which is a shame

Looks like I'll go for the GPR-70s, once my 80 is sold

It would only screw up the handling because you probably didnt know how to adjust the bike to suit the different type of tire you are using

Set the pressure correctly
