Bike Model = : Hyosung GT125 Naked Comet
Hello forumers, as the season is slowly starting here in Poland, I am about to replace the tyres on my bike from the original Shinko to some other, newer etc.
Do you have any recommendable tyre brands?
The most important aspect for me will be that I ride my bike mostly to work ±50km per day round trip, in all kinds of weather (including rainy days) and temperatures (from low 5 degrees celsius to high +30 degrees).
The roads I ride are mainly asphalt, rarely on dirt roads and more to get to my hammock destination.In addition, I would like to enquire about changing the size of the rear tyre. A lot of tyre sets, front plus rear, are sold here in Poland 110 front and 130 rear, is there a big difference in comfort and riding style, as if I switched from a 150 rear tyre to a 130 or 140?
Thank you in advance for your opinions and information on this subject.

In short.
MICHELIN PILOT ROAD ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
My most , most , most , most , recommended tyre. I can’t recommend it enough!
I’ve tried many tyres over the years in UK on different bikes , hell , i vowed not to waste money again unless its michelin.,
But…. “BRIDGESTONE TOURING” tyres are also GOOD! I would consider them a #2 choice. Just make sure you get Bridgestone Tyres that have a lot of silica or rated for “WET GRIP”.
Sizes = 150/70 is more than enough, believe me. 160/60 is the max safe limit for the rear rim. (Do not put 160/70!)
Front = 120/60 is OK (same size as Gt650) but 110/70 is plenty.

Marcel, what about tires 140/70 on rear rim?
Will the use of a narrower tyre have a negative effect on driving conditions of bike?
I have a very good price opportunity and to buy a Pirelli Diablo Rosso III, what do you think of them? Will they be worth buying?
In addition to these Pirelli, the rear tyre is 150/60, will this affect the riding conditions?Forgive me for asking such silly things but I have never dealt with motorbike tyres before.

Pirellis , they are a bit too “hard” for my liking and tend to |___| square off easily after a while instead of mainting a good curvy tyre ( )
Hmmm, you can use 150/60 as that’s what Hyosung did on their GD250N Naked model but personally i tried it on the GT , i was not too keen on it. So if possible try 150/70 or 160/60
Is there no Michelins or Bridgestone Sport Wet tyres where you live ?
You could try “Dunlop Mutant” tyres as our member from USA , says they are the best “crossover” tyres he has used on the Hyosung Gt250 , so they should be OK on your GT125
