I have a 2019 MP3 500 HPE Sport. But I'm in need for some winter tyres since it's starting to get cold.
I have no problems finding a rear tyre, but I can't find any front tyres with M+S marking.
Do any of you guys know if 120/70-13 will fit inside the fenders?
Or will I have to adjust them in order to make it fit?
I really don't want to park the scooter for the winter.

Metzeler Feelfree Wintec. They are M+S rated and come in sizes front + rear for all years MP3

Not much room in those front fenders. I'd stick with stock sizes..

Don't know if this will help or not.. When i changed my 12"Fuoco front wheels which have 120/70x12 michelin city grips to later 13" wheels fitted with 110/70 x13 michelin city grips, from memory they were only about 12mm taller than the 12" and fit under the original mudguards with plenty of clearance.

Thanks for the quick replys.

I would ofcourse prefer to use original size, but everone is out of stock.
120/70-13 is 7 mm in difference, and under 3% diameter change.
I will continue my search. There is a garage a few km. away that has in stock, but they will only sell them if they get the job to replace them.
They have Anlas Winter grip 2, and they might be able to get a Michelin City Grip winter for the rear.
