I'm new to riding and am looking at a 2009 Honda CRF230M. It's the only available dual sport near my location at a reasonable price.
The 'M' model comes standard with a front tire 110/70-17 Dunlop GT401 Arrowmax and a rear tire 130/70-17 Dunlop GT401 Arrowmax.
Obviously, it has 17-inch wheels, but I want to change the stock tires over to a 50% pavement and 50% dirt tire, such as the Kenda 784.
My question is what are my acceptable widths and aspects for my future tire? Do I have to get a 110/70-17 front and 130/70-17 rear or is just the 17 part important?
Many websites I visited don't even have those dual sport sizes available, so that's why I'm wondering.
