pirelli mt 90 crf 250l

anyone know can you fit 140/80-18 m/c 70s or best sticking to standard size 120/80 - 18 M/C 62s

140/80-18 is a big wide tyre for a 250L, there's so little horse power available as it is !!!!
I'd be sticking with a 120/80 or 120/90-18. I have a 110/100-18 on my CRF250L at the moment, it's a tall tyre and needed a new longer chain to fit it on.

Fitted the original size (front n rear) sometime ago, only used for 2 months as the traction is bad. Slip often and that's one time almost throw me out of the bike.
Best not to use.
Since then, I change to MT 21 and perform flawlessly.

Yes I agree with you rascal the Pirelli Rally Cross MT21 is a good choice of tyre both on and off road !!

YeahI like the mt21 have a set on there now,,,Good for off road but not so good on road a lot of road noise and they wear out quick on tarmac.....Got a trip to Malaysia coming up mainly on tarmac and think a bit of a waste to put another set off mt21 on there.....was looking for something a bit more road orientated...am struggling to find the mt90 in the standard sizes for crf250l

Don't understand why you can't find it, I had the standard size fitted before.
Totally agree with you, the MT 21 lasted only 4 months, I changed 3 rear and 1 front in a year.
If you look for more road orientated, try Pirelli MT43 pro trial. Taller than standard but last much more longer than the MT21.
Fitted that before and quite happy with it.

Tried 3 major Pirelli suppliers today and none of them have crf250l sizes in stock have opted for Dunlop 604 instead
