[1974blaze]

hey y'all.  i'm having a mother of a time finding tires for my 125s that are not knobbys.  i found these though for cheap
Michelin Gazelle M62 Moped Tire - here http://www.amazon.com/Michelin-Gazelle-M62-Moped-Tire/dp/B001CD6YKY
anyone have an opinion and advice for safety and fit? also open to suggestions for other options.  thanks.  fyi front is 2.75-18 and rear is 3.00-17.

Great find. Those are Michelin's utility tires for small motorcycles. They have a P speed rating (93 mph) and a load limit close to 400 pounds for each tire. They'll fit and work fine on your 125.

Those Michelins are the Tire Of Choice for the small singles crowd, like C50/65/70/Passport/S90 guys.
I use them on my C70M, good stuff.
They're about $4 cheaper (than your link) at Bike Bandit.........

good to get another positive review of the tires, thanks. i have already ordered them , but realize that i forgot tubes! i'm a bit confused by the tube sizes recommended on different sites. any thoughts on tubes and sizes?

look for tubes in the 2 diameters you need labeled for widths 2.75/3.00, 80, or MH - depending on the sizing method used. Don't forget about new rim strips if yours are stiff or damaged. You can probably get those at a local shop.
