Title: alternative tyres for a skorpion
Post by: flybynight on August 20, 2007, 10:49:20 AM

i have  a MZ skorpion traveller and i need a new rear tyre due to a hole, a massive loss of air and some tramac surfing. does anybody know if there is an alternative to the bridgestone battlax bt 92  150/60 zr17 for the back? or do i need to stay brand loyal??

Hmmm!  Sounds like a nasty one mate! Glad you're ok.

Mine had Dunlop Sportmax on front and rear when I bought it.  I wasn't crazy about them...

Changed to BT092's front and rear.  Big smiles all round- you know that "new tyre" feeling?  Well, it was like "new bike".  Any thoughts of sale went out the window.

Am no expert on tyres, see what others have...

Pirelli dragons come in the right sizes and are good - I fitted a pair following a recommendation on here
