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.
I don't know if I'm allowed to give much away?
Michelin City Grips were the surprise for me, didn't expect such decent cornering from a more traditional tyre.
SIP performers were decent, and would make a good budget/motorway tyre.
Obviously I'm going to say it's worth purchasing if you are wanting to make a tyre purchase, as it's got to be the only scooter tyre comparison out there. It took me approximately 2 years to get through all the tyres, which is exactly why it's the only comparison out there. All my riding is genuine rally and commuting miles with much of two up in all weather conditions. In the article there is Conti/Dunlop/heidenau/SIP/Michelin/Sava.

Quiet a few of my mates use the SIP tyres and rate them, I'm just about to try a set on one of my GP's
At the moment I have conti twists on one of my my GP's (sport on the front an standard on the rear) and to be honest they don't exactly inspire confidence in the wet but stick like sh!t to a blanket in the dry and I think the S1's on my other GP are even worse in the wet
Try Dave Walsh at Wasp performance, he stocks the SIP tyres

Not nice to post an article online from a newspaper living on selling issues.

If any knows where to get the mud & snow city grips from in the UK? I can't find them for anywhere near the £32 RRP
