Oirelli Scorpion Synch Tyres?

Post by CRazyCam »

Hi folks.

I was wondering if any of you have tried these tyres?

They appear to be available in 120/70 17 for the front, and 150/70 18 for the back.

I'm a bit interested in improving the handling of dirt roads and thought the Scorpions might be a good idea.

Any comments/experiences?

regards,CrazyCam

Just replaced the Syncs with Michelin PR3s a little bit ago. Prefer the PR3 for the handling right now, but cannot say how long they will last. I was caught in a snow storm with the syncs and they handled OK, but not something to write home to Mom about. PR3s seem to handle really well in moisture with all of the extra siping.
