Where does it say they are a 90% aspect ratio? If it's the case that there's no ratio marked then it's universally accepted that it's a standard 80% profile.

The Michelin X 125x15 is roughly 90% aspect ratio, it doesn't say it on the wall but then again, it's only been very recently the tyre manufacturers have been putting "80" on the sidewalls of their 80 profile tyres so nothing new there.

A 125x15 Mich X is roughly the same diameter as a 145(80)x15 IIRC :geek:

Just been looking here -

And found this useful table -

So according to Michelin, the 125 X has a section width of 127mm, but the 135 ZX is actually 142mm. I can see why the 135 ZX has better handling now. Still no mention of profile stats though.
