By my reckoning that'll make it the thick end of 10 years old, cutting edge or what?
I could have a look around the back of the Ark for you, pretty sure I left some Pirelli SC28's there.

If yer asking about that old test then the Funzy Hutchinson won. I tried em on track. They were 4 ply and great if you could get the heat into them.. but on a short race they didnt work as well as the dunlop. Nowhere near.

its as fatty as fatty can be, series1 with a mbd 240ts1
its not a daily rider, none are just toys but i only really go longish distance. it will take me to spain next year and france italy switserland ect in previous years.
ive lost the back end a few times in the wet with s1 s and i dont ride enough to shake off that twitchyness, ive lost the rear by ginding the pipe too. all make for a nervy rider. (exagerating a tadd)
so as im putting this one back on the road now...as it rains outside i thought wet tyres would be nice.
who sells the savas?
ive got these for my 50s hotrod vespa which are 100/80/10
