Continental tyres ... ContiScooty

[corrado]

I'm thinking of stocking these to fit on SIP tubeless and to sell separately.

Blurb says "All round scooter tyre with light handling thanks to the latest tyre profile technology.
Tread pattern ejects water very effectively for safe riding in the wet.
Durable compound delivers high mileage.
Tubeless and 75 mph rated".



I think they retail around the £28 mark??? Or £185 per pair fitted to SIP Lambretta tubeless rims.

Has anybody tried them yet?

Personally I think the Sava MC20 Monsoons are a great wet weather tyre but many scooterists seem unable to come to terms with Sava making great tyres these days. Added to the bulging Weathermans [allegedly] and the discontinuation of Navigators.

I've tried these Martin for the last couple of thousand miles, they feel great in the dry but no where near as good as Weathermans in the wet, feel a bit like S1's in the wet, I think the Twist are the better tyre.

I wouldn't call them an all weather tyre, not like the weatherman or the monsum. They look nice but I'm not sure how that central groove would cope with road markings
