They look like they would work pretty well on the superslab. Have you gone offroad with it yet?

Mine handle great...have oh about 400mi. on them...are really good at high speeds and super fast in the twisties...
Had them on Hard pack and felt like my stockers...so all around nice tire,wouldn't want to put them in mud/grass/soft dirt..but great Slab runner/lite trail

Default Pirelli Scorpion MT90 Rear Tire

Hi, I was wondering what your impressions are of this tire and how is it wearing versus mileage?

I've got a Heidenau K60 on the rear of my bike which is just about worn after 4000 miles (too soft) so I'm looking at various options to replace it. I ride 70% paved, 30% off-road mainly gravel tracks. Cheers

Mine is wearing evenly...1200mi...long lasting? I don't think so...

I know I'm resurrecting an old post.... I'm looking to replace my original stock front tires after 10,000km. I had replaced my rear at 5,000km to the Pirelli MT43. After 6,000km I also need to replace them. I absolutely loved the MT43 and I am hooked on Pirelli. I will probably get the MT43 again for the rear but I am unsure about the fronts.

Has anyone put an MT43 on the front? Also looking at the 90AT. Those who have been running that tire, any long term reviews?

Thanks guys

I ride 90% street and love them. No traction problems on trails and feels steady in turns on asphalt. I can't remember my mileage when I put the Scorpions on but I'm at 7,000 miles now. The rear tire will need to be replaced this year, but the front is as good as new. Still has the new tire threads on them.

I have Kenda Desert Parker front. Just installed it the other day. So far I'm loving it both on the street and dirt. Haven't washed out with it yet, and didn't feel uncomfortable at higher speeds (~50 mph) on streets. Not noisy either, like some other knobbies.

It's pretty stiff carcass so should be pretty flat-resistant.
