Street Tires for the Strada

[wferrari]

Hi folks,

I will probably have to swap my stock Tourance EXP at the end of this summer, as they are getting old and a tad too hard. They are very good tires, and I really wouldn't mind getting the same ones, or the NEXT version, but first I would like to hear from other owners of 19/17 Stradas primarily used on tarmac. I know there are other threads about tires, but they tend to be more Terra-oriented.

Thank you in advance for any feedback!

I'm not that happy with the EXP. For standard sizes i would choose Pirelli scorpion Trail 2, otherwise a 150/80 rear and Bridgestone T30 evo

I find the turn in to be slow with the stock tires. I'm going to replace the front with a Continental Trail Attack 100/90-19

It's not the width of the front tyre that makes it slow on turn in, it's the 19" front wheel

I'll probably put a tkc 80 on the front and either my used Avon or a new shinko 805 on back.

I tend to always find dirt roads.

Thank for all the feedback. In the end I've decided to get the standard sized Scorpion Trail II, as suggested by Jesper. I cannot use any other size, as in Italy it's strictly forbidden. I'm going to change them straight away, and not wait until the end of summer...safety first. The rear tends to go a little all over the places, particularly on the slick sett, plus there are a couple of cracks starting to develop in the middle of thread.
