Pirelli MT60 140/80-17 M/C 69H MST TL

I had high hopes with these, as they were the OE tire on my 2019 Royel Enfield Himalayan.On wet and dry pavement they never left me wanting for more grip, so in that respect I'd say they were fantastic tires.The problems arose once I tracked off the pavement. In looser terrain they feel mediocre and not at all predictable. There were times where I felt super confident until they just decided to completely break loose and cause mild panic along with visions of imminent death.I love the look of them and the tread pattern, but for a tire as aggressive looking as they are, they feel like an 80/20 and not the 60/40 advertised.I rode them to 4800 miles on my Himalayan and while the front still has a lot of life left, the rear is toast. The short tread life and the ... MoreI had high hopes with these, as they were the OE tire on my 2019 Royel Enfield Himalayan.On wet and dry pavement they never left me wanting for more grip, so in that respect I'd say they were fantastic tires.The problems arose once I tracked off the pavement.

The short tread life and the high cost were the ultimately deal breaker for me on these especially when you consider that there are much better tires off the beaten path for a good bit less money, that perform just as well or at least close to as well on the road.Simply put, I'd have reviewed them a bit higher if they weren't so pricey for what you seemingly get. Mitas E-07, here I come.

I do light off-roading with my Husqvarna SMR 510 and I like to shred the backroads. I wanted to increase my off-road traction without sacrificing road grip. I come from pure street sport bike tires like the Bridgestone RS10 and S20. I have to say, I can't tell that I've given up any on-road performance. I'm a little hesitant to lean it quite as far as the sport tires, but I think that may be more in my head than anything. The rear moves around a bit more on heavy braking, but under power it stays planted. The wet grip is phenomenal. The dirt and gravel is great, but mud isn't very good. Rocky river crossing have been fine. My only complaint is it's quite an expensive tire and doesn't seem to be lasting long. Admittedly, I'm pretty hard on the rear tire at all lean ... MoreI do light off-roading with my Husqvarna SMR 510 and I like to shred the backroads.

Honestly, I don't think I'll get more than 4000 km out of the rear, which is about what I get out of a Battalax S20, but the S20 is just over half the price.

They are a great tire and absolutely love the look. I have had two sets so far, I have 8700miles on my Ducati Scrambler. 30% has been dirt and they have been a great tire. I take off fast from stop lights and ride hard in the corners. 4300miles on the rear is fair Tread life considering the confidence they inspire. I do have the rear slip just a little ?very rarely? when I really get on it out of a 90* turn from stopped, but it doesn?t make me feel out of control or have to release the throttle. Buy with confidence! No signs ever of cracking or any of that nonsense in either pair. I didn?t need to change the front at the second rear change, but I did for my bike and for my ?not having to return? to the dealership... in 2000 more miles...
