what front tire size / Brand is best ???

bobthebiker

ideally something that is the same as your rear tire in brand/compound.   I'd stick with a 110/70/17 front.
looking for a new vehicle again.

Pirelli Sport Demons are fairly cheap, sticky, and also not awful in the rain.

'94 Honda XR250L

best... for what ? racing ? touring ?  commuting ? shooting beer bottles off a fence while going 100 mph ?

there are 200 or so threads about tires, tire wear, tire stickiness, tire grip, tire pattern, tire width.. if you search for gsjack or kerry + tires, you'll find graphs, longevity charts, and all kinds of things.

there is no such thing as -just- best. there are better choices for different uses, yes. :)
