I've put two on front and back. The front feels a bit twitchy, any other feedback on SIP Performers?

Possibly putting two on the front has caused the problem.................................... :)

Probably just want bedding in, but check wheel nuts, hub nut, bearings, rim condition etc

I was looking at those, might try them next. They seem to have it all, high speed rating, reinforced 245kg load capacity and as cheap as chips....so what's the catch I'm wondering?

They are a little faster wearing than other harder tyres but great all rounders IMHO

If you don't tinker, you won't learn anything, but you won't break anything either :)

They are okay for the price. They are not reinforced sidewalls though but I'd still use them again.

Did these tyres get a good review from young Jordan in a recent Scootering? I think they were Jordan's surprise package out of the tyres tested.

Is there anyone in the UK selling these tyres, or can you only get them from SIP direct?

I'm thinking about using them for the run to Italy, so wear is an important consideration.

Made by Vee rubber always put me off. But I've never fully road tested a set.

They are listed on the MBsite for £23 quid odd each, not sure how much shipping is though. Weather they actually do have them or not is another thing, it is scooter related after all..
