ReconRat Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Sounds like the later model 250 with the wider rear rim width.The third link down lists some tires that people have tried and the results.Results can vary...http://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Tireshttp://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/About_wider_tireshttp://faq.ninja250.org/wiki/J_Tiresedit: and don't mix radial with bias ply on the front and rear.

Hoblick Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 Straying from the stock tire size, in most cases will alter handling for the worse. Get a stickier tire and more confidence.She most likely isnt riding to the tires ability as it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadyone Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 This.^^. The stock tires on all bikes are way more capable than 99.9% of riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 same tire size, softer compound FTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jporter12 Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 What's on it now? If original, I think it comes with the BT45. That tire performs very well on the Ninja 250. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
