What are the CT125 stock tires?

Maybe:


OEM tires are bias-ply tube type with the following specs for reference:
Front: IRC GP-5 D, 80/90-17M/C 44P
Rear: IRC GP-5, 80/90-17M/C 50P
 

I was wondering if they are IRC GP-1 as in the video.

 

Is there an executive summary which is the better of the two?

1.  IRC GP-1 is clone of VRM-022 / vid.

           GP-5...different, less dirty.

2.  Will have my executive assistant check.

Just received a quote on the tires from VRC:

////////////

The price include vat & delivery fee

VRM-022

2.75-21  F     TT    = 560  baht

3.00-18  R    TT    = 640  baht

But these tires size  don’t have stock.

so after you confirm by send  copy of transfer ,

We start produce tires for you.

It might take 2-3 weeks before I can sent tires to delivery service.

 Thank you

Seems really cheap.

Al just out of curiosity do you know if VRC. makes sizes for the CBR150?

You only need a parachute to do that twice.????

Ordered some new tires for the Lifan.
My old tires are actually way oversized for the rims.
 
Width:     rim           old tire size              new tire size
 
F             1.6”            90mm/3.55”              70mm / 2.75”
 
R             1.85                4.3”                                  3”
 
I think it will ride better.
 
Will have iMoto mount w/ new tubes and

The originals were probably snow tires.  What month was it built in China?

old tires ≠ original tires.

Tested tires this AM.

Pavement concrete & asphalt.

Smooth & broken.

Dirt trail, roots and rocks.

Sand.

Overall real good. 

Not noisy @ speed.

Smaller size, so

considerably  lighter and seemed nimbler.

Climber

1. Yesty, took the exhaust pipes apart to re-seal [silicone]

the slip-joint before the resonator..

It has been leaking and making a greasy mess.

2. Had the lads change the oil today.

  0.6 liter Amsoil 10w40.

The old oil looked pretty murky.

Should have changed it earlier.

Yesty,  KMK.

Decided to ride the east areas as

the west trail was flooded last time out.

But found a downed tree blocking.

So went for a look-see @ west.

No trees down but sections were eroded badly;

but passable, barely.

Until well-in & it wasn't.

Had to push bike backwards up wet trench

50-meters until able to 180.

Ride out was tuff too.

Had to stop and rest and hydrate 2x.

Svety. ... pour cold water over head & back.

Bugly.

Made it back to base;   filthy,

but unscathed.

Enduro.

Pressure wash Climber.

Jump on Lifan for home.

Massive downpour.

Reastaurant.

Clearing.

Home & shower.

5 5
