Changing motorcycle tires

[needee]

Hello!
I am a new member from Hungary. I don't speak English, I use a translator.
I am asking for help. I want to change 12-year-old tires. The service says that they can't help you because of the size. And the old diagonal structure should not be changed.
Please help me, what kind, type, size is suitable for the 2013 Inazuma instead of the factory tire. Thank you very much: Peter

for front wheel you can use 120/70 X 17 tyre as an alternate to original size.
I've been using this size tyre and the bike runs pretty fine.

Thank you very much!

 I would like more information. What type, manufacturer? Maybe a photo of the front and back wear?

Hello,

I do not have any photos but here are my tires:

Rear:  140/70R17M/C  66H
Front: 110/70R17M/C 54H

BRIDGESTONE BATTLAX HYPERSPORT S22

They perform really well.

I bought one that was available in my country at that time. Don't have any pic handy. Here is the model that I use - "http://www.timsun.cn/ephoto/show-23.aspx"
You can choose from the ones available in your country. Avon, Bridgestone, Dunlop, Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, etc.,
Ensure you get 'H' speed rated tyre.

Thank you very much!
My favorite tire. I'm already ordering it if you say it can be used because of the different dimensions!

Yes, I am using them with no issues. The shop where I get my tires changed recommended them and assured me that there's no problem with the front tire having slightly different dimensions. Many other users have done something similar since the factory dimensions for the front tire are a bit 'unusual.'

I've already changed my tires three times over the years with the same Battlelax tires and have been really happy with them. They are also reasonably priced here in Greece.

I'm so glad!

Thanks.

Here in Hungary, the shop says that due to the 11mm difference and the radial structure, it cannot be replaced.
The racing service says it can be replaced.
BUT your experience is reassuring!

Have you tried the 120/70-R17?

I'm testing the original IRC rubber!
I think the front tire is undersized. The rear doesn't lean as much in the corner as the front! You are right to use the 120/70-17! The front is almost at the end, while the rear is lagging behind.
