Pirelli MT60 tires
JustcallmeMrT:
Has anyone used the Pirelli MT60 tires on a 550?
I was thinking the 90/90-19 on the front and 110/80-10 on the rear (if I can find them). What do you all think, will it work?
If I can't find 110/80-18 for the rear, would the 120/80-18 work or too wide?

Hi Mr T never tried them but they look ok ;) cheers Mick.
JustcallmeMrT:
Thanks Mic, I think they'll go nicely with the look of the bike, but I'm having real trouble finding someone who stocks the 110/80-18, they all seem to have the 120/80-18 instead.

Not understanding why you want Enduro tyres on a non-enduro bike. Why do you need something with a 80 wall???

I would need to look in the darkest recess of my most crowded shed to know if the conti attack tyres on my 550 were 110 or 120 section, what I would say is that I fitted a tyre that had 5mm clearence off the brake torque arm when at a standstill and after a ride out of 20 miles the tyre had evidence of the sidewall scrubbing the torque arm, happened every time. So that gives some idea of how much tyres grow or flex in use. That was a 15 inch custom bike tyre on a oddball wheel which someone had rebuilt for a chop using different rim. It was quite wide, I can measure it if needed as it is still in the shed.
