S.I.P./AFR tubeless, tires question.

[Robi D]

I have a set of the S.I.P. Tubeless rims and need some tires. What tires are you using on yours and how hard were they to fit? I'm putting these on a ser. 1 with a TS1 225. I've been looking at some continental zippy 1's.
Thanks

I have racemans on my sip rims but they wouldn't fit my afr versions, they buckled the tyres when trying. the sip rims are easy to fit tyres to yourself unlike the afr version .

I think the Conti's are only rated at 63 mph, there are far better tyres out there with a speed rating better suited to a TS1. It would be a bit like using HR rated tyres on a Porche instead of VR
The Swalbe Raceman that Mark mentioned are very good in the wet and dry as are Weathermans and are both rated at 93 mph. Hidenaugh (spelling?) also get good reviews and have a similar rating.
I had a set of Conti Twists on my T5 which were great especially on greasy London roads but then they were compatible with the scooters performance.

Zippy 1s will fit ok. at least the did on a set of SIP vespa rims for me.

As mentioned above I have Racemans on mine (SIP), one fitted professionally, I did the other myself with no problems after watching the guy fit the first one.

Same as above, Weathermans and Racemans fitted to my SIP rims.

By the way, the AF and SIP rims are not the same

Good to know, thanks everyone. I thought the rims were the same, but a few small differences. I have the S.I.P. rims.
Cheers!

What about conti twists? good/bad? I kinda like the look of them.

Along the same lines as above. I have some S3 that I haven't used yet and was thinking about sticking these on to the SIP rims is that a bad idea?
