Pirelli Scorpion Trails
« on: March 05, 2012, 18:49:39 »
Haven't seen any comments about Scorpion trails for a while ..so ..
Front £88
Rear £110
fitted onto my Wee this afternoon by Autofit in Ipswich , reasonable price I thought , having had a bit of a mooch around the web and seen demon tweeks offering £82 and £102 by post on the bay .

So £198 fitted on bike , no bad at all but then VAT .. ffs £39.60 ... bloody governement  :angry-tappingfoot:

My Trailwings have had enough at 8700 miles , I'll report here on how I get on with the Scorpions as times goes on.

So far 2 miles in pouring rain, in town !  :rain:

Thanks 2112 , I had read the report , I'm hoping that the Wee is a bit easier on them .
I'm about 99% on road , on off road excursions are mostly just to camp sites , so looking for road grip and good wet grip . I ride mostly around East Anglia , pretty sedately ( old git ) , with the odd loaded up camping trip to the west coast of Scotland , but I do like to get a bit of a lean on  :lala:
