umm...ok:|[/QUOTE
Just in case you were wondering I wasnt having a go at people from California its just an example. Tyres are very much down to your style of riding and when and where you ride. I loved Michelin tyres and I was recommended PR 3s to replace my shot PR2 on my last bike, I hated them and two friends of mine thought they were the second coming, if fact I dont think I ever saw a bad report on them.
tire replacement guide?
Has anyone complied a list of replacement tires for the Scrambler yet?
I've reviewed some highly rated dual-sport tire but it seems very few make an 18" for the front tire or a 180 for the rear tire:crying:
I'm hoping Pirelli will make these for our bike:

What else have you had one of these mounted to? Is there much difference between model 3 vs 4?
Any reason not to go with the Pilot 4? Or is the size the issue?Don't forget the excellent Michelin Pilot Road 3, available in 110/80x18 front and 180/55x17 rear. This will be my choice when the OEM tyres wear out.
Last time I checked the rear was fine, but they didn't do them in the 18 inch front.Any reason not to go with the Pilot 4? Or is the size the issue?
This might have changed, I haven't looked recently.
I have only seen 2 reifen pairs in addition to the MT 60s, Metzeler Z8 and Pirelli Angels, I think its only a matter of time though until the other manufacturers have something ready. The Scrambler is under the top 10 best selling bikes in Germany alone in 2015, Italy was no different.
Continental is an option:
- 110/80ZR18*W TL M/C ROAD ATTACK 2
- 180/55ZR17*W TL M/C ROAD ATTACK 2
- 110/80ZR18*W TL M/C ROAD ATTACK 2
- 180/55ZR17*W TL M/C ROAD ATTACK 2
I'm currently running Angel GTs and they are just fantastic, however, when they're gone, I'm hoping that Pirelli's new Phantom re-boot will be available. (The rear is do-able, but the front is still not available in the correct size) They look just perfect, and takes me back to the tyres to have from my formative days

If you don't mind me asking, how do you think the mileage is likely to be on the Angel GTs, and roughly how many miles did you get out of the original tyres? I'm thinking about the Angel GTs myself when the times comes, but I'd rather not have to fork out on a set of tyres a year if possible.
Thanks
Jet, Hi,
I'm afraid I'm unable to comment on the original tyres, as I had the GTs fitted from new, (I'm an old f*rt who thinks knobblies should be narrow, and fitted to an MX bike!) however, after 1600 miles, the GTs are only just beginning to show any signs of wear (rear). My guess is that they may be good for another three or four thousand, which is fine in my book (no guarantees 'though...)
Cheers

I was really considering those Shinko tires!, Im kinda waiting for someone else to do it first so I can see what their review is. I think they would look amazing. the measurement of the tires or VERY close to the Pirelli.
I´ve done 5600 miles on mine with original, but with 30-40% of the riding at 40 mph or lower (central London). Think there is easily another 1500 miles of easy riding left if not 2000.
I had another look at the Michelin page today and found the new German approval (Reifenfreigabe) for the Pilot Road 3 here: REIFENFREIGABEN | MICHELIN - Motorradreifen Deutschland
I guess this will be my next choice.

A deeper look into the document revealed, that the approval is only valid for the alloy wheels, not for the spoked ones!!!I had another look at the Michelin page today and found the new German approval (Reifenfreigabe) for the Pilot Road 3 here: REIFENFREIGABEN | MICHELIN - Motorradreifen Deutschland

I went with Michelin Pilot road 3 in front and a pilot road 4 in the rear. I don't go off road. The bike likes the tires.
I was told by my local dealer that a efficient and good looking tyre for scrambler is the Continental Road Attack Evo 2 (street tyres)
As I´m dont really care how the tyres look, I am going with the Pirelli Angel GT, partly because they have been well tested and are one of the best on the market and that the price is below most others.
Continental tyres have very good marks and are not very expensive. The problem is to find them in France because the brand (German) is not very well known here.
Spoked wheels
Will the Pirelli Angels work on the spoked wheels?

I apologize in advance, but I just have to ask: What the **** is going on in Germany? I'm familiar with euro vs. U.S. versions and how the regulations can vary and determine equipment. However, before reading up on these forums I had never known Germany was so strict on so many fronts.A deeper look into the document revealed, that the approval is only valid for the alloy wheels, not for the spoked ones!!!
I saw where most people here were looking for exhaust for German bikes and were required to have a catalytic converter, and now each and every tire AND wheel combination must be approved by the state?
My wife has lived 2 nonconsecutive years in Germany and is a German teacher here in the U.S. We've talked about living in Germany, even if for a short time, but now I'm thinking I'd be better off in Belgium. (I like their beer, food, and cycling races better anyhow)
