Hey all.... Right so I have my first mot coming up and I went and bought a new rear tyre (2weeks ago) it got put away as I was ordering other things and wasn't needing to change right away my bike currently is running a 110 80 17 and I just noticed the guy gave me a 100 80 17(sure I asked for the 110) anywhoo can this be used?.....


Note this is for a zontes panther 125 so lucky to get 70 outta it with my big ass 😂🤣

I have a triumph that can run on 2 or 3 different size tyres.


Have been advised quite firmly by a reputable part supplier that fitting tyre other than stated in manufactures specification will invalidate my insurance.


To the point he implied this including brand/ tyre to original OEM spec never mind size.


Edit to add: I bought the tyre size I wanted how am I to know it was not the last owner who changed tyre size and I just bought the same again..

I think having OEM tyres only would be reaching a bit as once a bike's a certain age OEM tyres might not be available having been replaced with a new version. On Ducati forum there's a lot of talk about tyres but I've never seen anyone twitching about insurance issues!

I believe that insurance will be fine, if the tyre manufacturer recommends the tyre for the bike.

Otherwise, you are at risk - it's more likely something will go wrong and, if it does, more likely that insurance may be an issue.
