Yesterday I wanted to take her for a ride but I immediately noticed something was very wrong so I returned home.
There I found out that the front tyre was empty

Filled her up and she loses about 0,05bar/hour

I'll go searching the hole later on, but I'm not too fond of repaired tyres

I'm thinking of getting a BT090 to replace this tyre (this one is a MEZ3 120/70)
The rear tyre is an (almost new) BT090 150/60 R 18"

Should I get the same dimensions or would it be better to take other dimensions?

The standard tyres are (according to haynes):
- Front: 100/90-16 54H (seems a bit strange since it's a 17" rim )
- Rear: 130/70-18 63H

So any recommandations are welcome

And the price, well, I guess good tyres are worth gold

Cheerio

Found the hole, here's a pic:

I think it will be best to order a 120/60 BT090 tomorrow
