It will depend on the width of your rim.

Tire sizes are pre-determined by the manufacturers and although you can upsize your tires do be aware you are carrying more weight and thus reduced fuel efficiency and speed.

okay man, i got now correct number for my KUPS tyre already, 60/90 front 70/90 rear, not toooo big just nice

maybe getting it in MSIA racing boy DUNLOP going for onli 80RM per pcs brand new

Maybe can try up size by 10. Front 70/90 and rear 80/90.

Advantage better handling and cornering more safe . Disadvantage less pick up power and speed maybe drop by 5% ( if using same brand but up size).

@Stylo

i feeel like getting thinner tyre eh, those very thick tyre not very nice and heavy,

for example 80/90, the 80 represent the height of the tyre ? the bigger the number the longer the length of tyre from the rims right ?

still very unsure of those number eh

80 is the with = 80mm

90 is the height ( 90% of the 80mm)= 72mm height.

All depend on you driving style and condition. Want fast go for narrow tire. Want stable and better cornering go for wider tire.

If have budget go for Bridgestone if want value for money use Shinko tyre( better than Michelin and Dunlop) price are cheaper.

X1-R best is battlex bah.

Battlax works great for cubs and Metzeler gives excellent grip as well (if you can still find the unidirectional design). But Metzeler seems to wear out really fast. Michelin M35 is good for a commuting tyre as it has lower rolling resistance (saves fuel) at the cost of cornering ability.
