MT-5
« on: 24 November 2013, 03:22:33 pm »
Hi chaps, quick question for you. I don't really expect to get an answer to this but it's worth trying :D
I have just bought a 1990 Honda MT-5 for my daughter when she turns 16 in February. What I am after is some information or advice about wheels/tyres. Does anyone happen to know if there is a road type tyre available in the fitments for this bike or are there any other wheels that are a swap so that road tyres can be used?
I have done a swift google search but not turned anything obvious up.
Tyre sizes are front: 2.70x19  rear: 3.00x16
Thanks in advance guys, Neil
