Tires Pirelli or Kumho

I disagree, Pirelli Diablo Rosso Scooter are the best and they have a really nice sporty tread pattern that would be more at home on a sports bike.

My pirelli tires have almost 10000 kilometers since I put them on with a lot of thread left still, while the city grips in used to roll died at around 7-8000 kilometers with the wire spots showing early.

I just replaced the MXM4s on my SR+ after 42,000 miles with the Pirelli P Zero AS Plus Elect and have a whole 25 miles on them. Noticeably smoother ride and quieter.

I went through this exact debate 6 months ago, and I got the Pirellis. They are similarly quiet to the Michelins (at least as best as I can tell). Grip is good, better than the Michelins for sure. Efficiency seems to be very close... I'm certainly within 5%.

I got mine with the pirelli summers which are great.

I have used Kumho touring tires on two different BMWs and I thought they were great for a mid priced tire.

Have the Kumho Ecsta, standard fitted here in the Netherlands. Have to say they are very silent and durable. Drove approx 37k km with them. Have also Continental Premiumcontact winter/snow tyres. Not bad too.

So I went ahead and purchased a set of Pirelli P Zero. What I am concerned about is that when I asked about the DOT date, the guy at the tire shop told me that the tires were made in the 24th week of 2016.

Echoing similar sentiments on the 21's - Rotated at 8k and seem to be ripping through them faster than I anticipated.

I have 22” and have 5/32 tread left and currently have 16k miles logged. I don’t think they’ll last another 10. I’m also not the biggest fan of Pirelli.
