Pirelli MT60RS

[mtiberio]

Always wanted a set. Decided to splurge. Of all the online vendors, only Revzilla listed both an H rated version and a V rated version. For the NC700X, no more than the H rated version is necessary, and it was about $25 cheaper. Just an FYI for y'all

Good luck with them. The set I tried was worn out in record time.

I wish Pirelli would make the MT66 in our tire sizes. I run the MT 66 on my cruiser and constantly get 15,000+ miles on the rear and 17,000+ miles on the front; on a 600pd cruiser riding the same roads I normally run the NC700x on.

I expect less than 3000 miles.

initial impressions, taller than stock yet have the same size designations. Front feels lighter, bike tends to flop into the corner easier. I'm not a big fan of this feeling, but once I got 20 miles on the tires, I learned to like it. Feels planted in turns...

installation was a breeze. Tires were hot from sitting in the sun, and mounted and seated no problem

Very impressed with these tires. I think because the side walls are taller than the OEM tires, that the bike rides better over sharp bumps. Not a total cure for the too harsh front fork, but these tires definately make the front end feel more compliant.

What are the actual sizes listed, that you chose?

Will be interested to hear about the wear as the miles accumulate too, if you don't mind keeping us up to date

Well they certainly are gorgeous looking tires, anyway

These tires apparently works very well in the sand but usually don't last very long mileage...I'd really appreciate a good long term advice from a NCX owner...

went for a 450 mile ride with my son (we are both 190 pounds). thought I'd square off the tires, not so. they worked and look fine... ran standard pressures (36 rear I think).

How is their performance on coarse gravel?

The only big block dual sport tyres I have seen that get good mileage are the Shinkos and on a couple of GSs. My NC came from the factory with Trailmaxs and though good tyres all around they look spent before 4000 miles. I'm opting for a sport bike tyre this time over appearance but those Pirellis are super cool.
