The stock tires have very little grip, it's not that noticeable when going straight, but on the sharper turns they slip, and motorcycle slides.
I did my due diligence, and went across a few years old thread where the year-round rider from Manitoba put dirt bike tires on his CBR 125. The tires he used were Michelin Starcross MX for front, and Kenda 270 for rear.
I've stopped at three options:
1. > Michelin Starcross MX for front, and Kenda 270 for rear

2. > Pirelli MT 43 (for front and rear)

3. > Shinko 244 Dual sport

Or leave everything as is and work on handling skills?
Any suggestions are appreciated. :batman
