Tt600re tyres

Post by Paulst4 »

Hello. I'm looking to do quite a bit of road riding on my tt600re. Can anyone suggest the most road oriented tyres I can get please? I've looked and there doesn't seem to be anything for the rear at 130/18.
Thanks,
Paul

It’s a shame the Pirelli scorpion rally str don’t come in this size, they’re awesome on the T7 for tarmac, even wet. I was hoping for some on my 1vj. If you still want some chunkiness, Michelin anakee wild are rated highly on the T7, for road grip too. But for pure road grip, on sports bikes I always went for battlax.

Thanks for that, put me on track. I found Battlax Adventure, which look perfect, but only seem to be available tubeless. Anakee Aventure are the best I've found now, available in tube and tubeless. And add a little bit of trail/campsite competence.

Looks like I was wrong about the Anakee in 130/18. Back to the search....

Have now found Contiscape and Conti trail attack in tubed but rear is 140. Anyone know if they fit OK?

Any info on their website? If it’s a road tyre you may get away with it. Might have to actually measure a tyre physically if you can get to one, and the swingarm/chain clearance.

Hi. I've had a look, if 10mm wider, which I guess it should be, I think they'll go in fine. Here is a mud flap at the front that might need a bit of adjusting. I'll report back.
