250 EXC-F tires

The OE tire sizes for the KTM 250 EXC-F (2020 model) are 80/100-21 front / 140/80-18 rear. Below are tires in these sizes, compared across brands. OE rim widths are F1.60 / R2.15 (from official specs; used for the rim-width check). OE sizes can differ by model year and market — the sidewall of your own bike is the sure reference. This is a Japanese-market lineup; the sizes themselves are international.
