Tyre advice????

Post by quirkyiron » Tue Jul 24, 2018 10:52 pm

Hi all
Thought the best thread for tyre advice would be the plop racing section!
Any reccomendations on tyres for my cub?
Looking for maximum dry grip and not too bad in wet.
From what I have read metzeller Me22 or Michelin m45's ?
Also 2.75 rather than 2.5???
All advice much appreciated
Jim

Me22 or pay a bit more for the Bridgestone battleaxe tyres. We used the me22 for years but now changed to battleaxe. Depends on if your team members want to cough up for them. 😁

Great cheers Alan much appreciated . I have used the battax on big bikes with good results so might be worth the extra. Do you know if a 2.75 will fit a stock cub 90 front and back ?
Cheers
