Anyway my question is i never intended to go off road got the tenere to be different and love it so could any one suggest some pure road tyre options??

I have done a search and come up with avon road riders AM26 and bridgestone BT45 in the standard sizes and what would be the widest rear tyre that would fit ??

Thanks

will post pictures when i work out how?

You were all very good a while ago when i could not find a blue tenere but yamaha emailed me a list of dealers who had one and my local dealer powerbikeing then collected a boxed one from another dealer

You said you don't intend to go off road and you only got the Tenere to be different, which is fair enough as far as i am concerned.

As for tyres for the tarmac I would recommend a set of Avon Distanzia which you can find here:

Good luck
