Re: New tires ?
good news!
But if big scooters have 15" wheels, i always have a believe that in near future some maker will adopt 16" in their line of scooters, its not the case yet...
But its very good news and we all can keep the paso with wright tires!

A Suzuki Bergman 650 has 16" wheels as well as a Aprilla Scooter. Pirelli makes a 140/70 r16 Diablo for them.

Not the wright sizes for Paso...and with the incresed power in scooter 140 is too small.randtcastell wrote:"But if big scooters have 15" wheels, i always have a believe that in near future some maker will adopt 16" in their line of scooters, its not the case yet..."

yes G., i agree 100%. i thought that the probability that we live on the moon next year is higher.....paso750 wrote:

G.
for you guys from australia and kanada / US: Should not be a problem, if delticom (cf. e-mail from goldentires.it) will distribute them (they are an online platform), delticom can send them all over the world. It will come along with some costs, but in that case, you do not need to pay and care about your local dealer. Just order them directly. If they do not send directly to australia etc., I can help you and send them to you guys. we will manage somehow.
this news is indeed like christmas.....
all the best hardo

Re: New tires ?
I did not get the story with the scooter tires yet.
Even tough the company produces scooter tires, the tires we are talking about are not for 15' wheels and R-rated but have the proper z-rating (zr-rating because they are radial tires) and have the right size too (130/60 and 160/60/16). Also the load facto is right. I mailed to the company, these tires are not produced for a particular scooter, but for the old 16 wheel ducatis, that is at least what I understood from the mail.
Hence it is not again a discussion again of using some (e.g., Pirelli) scooter tires with wrong speed and load index made for a total different purpose and a different (smaler) rim.

Hi I'm Italian and I write them,hardo wrote: these tires are not produced for a particular scooter, but for the old 16 wheel ducatis, that is at least what I understood from the mail.
I confirm you that they decide to produce these tires for old-ducati and not for scooter
I hope to be one of the first buyers
than I'll inform you about impressions
Re: New tires ?
Hi,
Sent them an email day before yesterday just to say thank you. I think would be fair to let them know that there are people all over the world which are grateful that they are offering a solution. (so far no one bothered about).
So don't be shy and write them. And even more important support them wherever possible. Buy tires......
just as reminder

Re: New tires ?
the only concern I have about this matter is that some guys will order 3 sets or more just to have a good feeling of having some spare. This won`t do a favour to anyone as with the milage most Pasos do per year one set probably lives 3 seasons so the others will be aged by the time they get on the bike. Furthermore the tire manufacturer may have good sales at the beginning but sales volumes will then drop considerably in the second year making them recalculate their business case.
It may be though that due to the fact the tires come from Asia the costs are low and not as much of a concern as they were for Michelin. At least I hope so otherwise these new tires may disappear again in a couple of years.
Imho just order what you really need, this`ll keep the demand constant which is a sign for the manufacturer to keep on going.
