I'm having a difficult time getting a replacement rear tyre. The only options I can find in the correct size, 110/70 17 54 W, they're for front tyres only. Can anyone recommend a tyre?

A quick google, and I can see the problem!

This page: https://www.oponeo.co.uk/motorcycle-tyres/110-70-17 does list one or two that are front AND rear fitment.

It might be worth trying a local scooter / small bike dealer. They tend to know about the special stuff at the small/light end of the market that your sportsbike places don't deal with. You should be able to get Chinese or Indian ones for not much.

Just found this (search was "110/70 17 tyre rear -front"), which proves they are out there but pricey:

When I change the tyres on my Soco I will go for ones good in the rain. Maybe Michelin ones... I'll change tyre myself.

Hi all. I install to my Soco TC Max tyres Mitas MC 50, front 110/70-17, rear 130/70-17.
