Hi,

I just about thru second Dunlop gt502

Going with the pirelli night dragon as we moving into winter here in Aus and something with a bit more grip may help

It's 180/60-17, I think Bridgestone exedra also makes a 180/60-17

Thanks
Mirrmu

In the 180/60r17 series tire, you only have 3 choices. Dunlop GT502, Michelin Scortchers or Pirelli Night Dragons. All other 180 series tires are rated for a wider wheel than what is on our scoots.

Anyone look into a crossbones rear rim at all? I may go that route so I can stick a 200 on the rear and get more tire options. Thoughts?

I have had very good luck with my scorchers so far and I do ALOT of riding in the rain.

I just purchased my Scorcher from Surdyke at a reasonable price.

I've looked at several different "mags". I want to get rid of the spokes so I can run tubless. But my finances won't allow the ones I want.
