Title: Tires clearance on RS125
Post by: backMARKr on May 08, 2009, 02:17:25 PM
'94 RS 125

Have had clearance issues with Michelin slicks on the rear (too wide), they fit fine on the newer generation ('95) but are too wide for the older RS.

We have a line on Bridgestone slicks but need to know if the same issue will occur.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

I had a '94 myself and the Bridgestone fit without any problems.
