What tyres do I get ?

[robo67]

i haven't voted as the brand i use is not there sorry

[brentice2008]

I might hijack this thread slightly and ask what sort of tyres I should run on the new DRZ, been riding twice today and the thing is skatey, I ended up turning it around while going around a left hander with some ruts mud and water I ended up with the bike facing backward with me lying on the right side of it, moved fairly quick as the exhaust felt a little to warm for comfort. I am blaming the tyre not my first day riding experience for my stack, hence I need new tyres :)

As for where I ride, today was along the goulburn river, soon it will be bogies/high country.

Three words my friend, Pirelli Scorpion Extra, its all the rage at the moment. Everyones doing it

Don't use an S12 for local conditions Dave.
I mis-voted btw, there's a vote for the 403 that should be for the 404.

404, interesting, the bike shop sells them and recommends them too.

i use bridgy 404/403, hook up very well in the mud even when 1/2 worn.

Pirelli Scorpion Extra or nothing for me

what berg said they are truly amazing

[V8Patrol]

Kind of decided to try these Pirelli Scorpion MX Extra.
Except, nobody has any !
Including the joint next to Berg1.

I sent an email to the Australian Pirelli distributors - heard nothing back.
So, not even Pirelli want to sell me some.

Looks like it's the Bridgstones or Dunlop's again.

[RideOrBeRidden]

Give the 404 a go on the rear, you won't be disappointed.
Then you will be able to compare them to the Scorpians when u get some.
That thing i got at Dargo for the front has been great, i dunno what it is though, it's black and round with knobbly bits protruding from it.
Have a look next we meet at the G or i may look at it later and tell ya.

apparrently the pirelli super mx pro cross somethingerother tyres arnt to liked by these guys.

Just an update.

Managed to get some Pirelli Scorpian MX Extra front & rear.

But, I haven't put them on yet.

I'm still playing with pressures in the Dunlop 952. Seems that lower is much better.
I'd really like to wear this tyre out a bit more before I get rid of it, so we'll see how I go adjusting pressures more.

[berg1]

Put them on mate save the 952's for summer..
which maybe here very soon

[RideOrBeRidden]

As Ben said mate, stick 'em on now and enjoy the grip.
Once summer gets here nothing will grip out there so chuck the 952's back on then.
Bring 'em around here and i will fit them for ya, just the wheels and new tyres i mean not the whole bike

[V8Patrol]

Whole bike on it's way.

Thanks mate.

Could you give it a cut & polish while it's there too ? Thanks.
