My on/off road Scorpion MT 90 rear tyre is bald after 9,000k's of mostly road wear...Q..Is there a recommended mostly road off road tyre for the R100 ?
Its no big deal, though if anyone knows of a standout tyre be interesting to try it out.

Hey "Gascoyne Guy',
Poor wear may have something to do with the gascoyne Off Road Ride and "Approach/ Exit" from Cat's on Sunday morning brekkies maybe??

Well thanks for that Swampy....I did forget to mention that I did a few 7 second runs at Ravenswood last month, guess that would have removed a bit of rubber.
Ross....the rear is an 18".....though for the clever people my current tyre says 120/80 18 MC625

Ravenswood Raceway closed 13 years ago.
If your seven second "runs" last month were related to the food at the Ravenswood Pub, what has that got to do with tyre wear?
