I've just bought a cheap off-road type bike so my sons can come green-laneing with me but am struggling to find off-road tyres for it.
The bike is a 2019 Lex-Moto XF125 (yes I know it's not a KTM or other premium brand) but for £930 at a year old I couldn't care how many times it gets dropped providing Tom or Henry are OK ad are having fun.
It has what look like semi off-road tyres on it at the moment but these won't work well on muddy lanes and I want to fit knobbly types.
The sizes are: 130/70-17 rear and 110/70-17 front but I'm struggling to find anything suitable.
How wrong would it be to fit a 130/80-17 on the rear? The reason I ask is because I found one in this size.
Any help with this will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
