Hi


Need to fit new boots for that lighting lexmoto that I have :D , I have been looking around and getting a bit confused because most of tyres in this size are listed for front, only managed to find conti go and Pirelli mt75 for rear, I mainly ride in dry but wouldn't mind getting something better for wet grip is well.


Anyone can advice please.

A front can be used on the rear if it is turned around, so the arrow is pointing the wrong way. A quick search on oponeo is bringing up plenty of choice in rear tyres though.


Beware using a front on the rear can lead to short tyre life as fronts are often made with a softer compound nowadays..
