Three tyres solutions?

Hi, I'm Ivan, from Spain, just registered.
I will buy a 750 Paso and researching for tyres and this stuff. Last night I found these three available sizes, think will fit perfectly, but I'm not sure.
These are:

160.70.16. Metzeler M1
170.70.16. Bridgestone G722 Exedra
Dunlop K555
130.70.16 Metzeler M3 Sportec
Bridgestone BT016 Battlax
Dunlop Sportmax Qualifer 2

Found in www.rodamoto.es and www.neumaticos-pneus-online.es

Hugs from Spain

you will find many topics here. it has been discussed up and down.
A 130/70-16 front is fine. For the rear it`s 150/80-16 or 180/60-16.
The 160/70-16 doesn`t exist anymore. There was only one tire and that was discontinued. A 170/70 is too high.

look through this or the 906 forum, you`ll find all the info.
If you find a ME1 it`s most likely an old tire (check DOT number) unless Metzeler is producing it again which I doubt as about no bike tire shop lists it.

no, not ok. A 110/80 is made for a rim with 2.5-3.00" width max.
Add your country to your profile so we know where you are.
