Trying to find a replacement tyre that will be more suitable for off road than on. Nothing too serious, mainly green lanes, occasional mud but must be road legal. Will a 70/100/19 fit in place of the 90/90/19? Any advice appreciated.

You are going to be really limited due to the small wheel size, a Mitas E09 comes in 19" and looks like a popular choice on the xrv forum.

Ok thanks , I`d looked at a Mitas but the c-19 because it`s road legal too.

Pirelli mt60 was the standard tyre on newer model xr125's and was pretty good on and off road if you have the older model?

Yes you`re right, Pirelli MT60 on 2009 bike. Just looking for something a bit better for the soft stuff but other than 70/100/19 (which I`m not sure will fit) there`s not alot of choice. I`ve searched for Mitas E09 but can`t find any online. Thanks anyway.
