It depends what you like!!!

1.75 for rear and a 2.125 for front or both 1.75.

Comp 3 copies work.

I'm using GT Tyres with the GT Tread.

A few people use a modern tread on the tyre.

Hit the track and see what the grip is like.

And try different Pressures to see what difference it makes.

Nice bike!! :daumenhoch:

Get 1.75 rear and 2.125 front, comp III or copys.

I rode 1.75 on front and rear last year but
could have done with wider on front   :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

The Moe Joes you have on will do 8) (are they the folding ones?)

But try 1.85 at the back leaving a 2 up front
