New tires in Bali
Hi guys
After nearly 10,000kms through the outback and up through to Bali my already old road tires are looking a bit worse for wear.
I'd really like to swap them over to something slightly chunkier to cope with the slippier patches. She's an 89' Honda CD250U so I'm not bashing up the side of mountains or anything like that, but as I'm sure you all know the roads here occasionally disappear into nothing so I'd like to be slightly less wobbly in those situations.
I know absolutely nothing about tires other than mine are 17" rims that take 3.00 + 3.50-17 100/80-17 inner tubes, but matching up the sizes is something the tire shop will know enough about..it's what kind of tire to look for I need advice on.
I know I'm not going to be spoiled for choice over here, but does anybody have any advice for something with a bit more bite available in Bali or what I should at least be looking for in the tire. Also would be grateful on advice regarding what I should expect to pay and where the best spot would be to get things checked out.
