Dawid126 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 Hi, what tires would you recommend for virago 535? I would like them to have max grip, the mileage can be lower. I have thought about Metzeler Roadtec 01 90/90/19 on front and Michelin Commander III 140/90/15 on the back. What do you think about such mix?

husoi Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 As @Stu says, don't mix the tyres. second, I would go for Michelin. As alternative, and with recent experience, I would go for Mitas costume force. They are also very good and cheaper than Michelin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But in those sizes I can only find some budget tires of lower quality and now the question is set of worse tires or mix of better tires? Also there are some tires that are only made to fit the front, for example Metzeler ME 11 Perfect or Avon M20 Edited September 14, 2021 by Dawid126 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawid126 Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Here (https://www.motorcyclespecs.co.za/model/yamaha/yamaha_xv535_97.htm) it says 3.0 19 and the conversion chart says it is 90/90 https://www.motorcycleparts-accessories-andmore.com/motorcycle-tires-conversion-charts.html. And here https://www.bikebandit.com/tires-tubes/motorcycle-tires/metzeler-block-c-motorcycle-tire/p/52773?m=146375 it says that 3.00 19 fits the machine Edited September 14, 2021 by Dawid126 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
