I know these things happen but I have never had a puncture on any of my bikes, it was punctured by a stone of all things, I thought these tyres are supposed to be Semi-Trail??? Reading through some posts and this seems bloody common, options from here, fit another rear scorp or just fit MPR3's and be done with it?!
Not sure, my mate had the Diamonds and didn't rate them at all, heard nothing but good things about the PR3's, expensive though
The PR3's are great tyres on the Multi and last really well. Now at 5K on my 2nd set and still life in them for another trip. Profile has also held up really well and they are just the best tyre I've ever experienced in the wet.
You could repair it, but the Scorps probably have another 1k of good life left in it anyway. I always go to FWR in Elephant and Castle. Ridein rideout. Its around the 270ish mark. Consider Anakee 3s as well if you're off-roading a bit.
I can get 2 tyres delivered for £220 with a free £25 fuel voucher if bought before the 31st May, what is the average cost for fitting, £30?
I'd go for the PR3's, but I'm biased. On my 2nd set with the Multi and 1st set on the Monster. No better pair of tyres in my opinion.
I use the standard size of 190/55. I Don't know if you can use the 50's or not? They maybe expensive, but they're worth it.
Hi Ape Duc I believe you cannot repair the scorps as they are steel casings, ie they will shred any plug you put in there! I bought my Michelin pr 3's from HGB in south ruislip! They had a special on at the time! Try them they may have a good deal again! Can highly recommend the pr3's! Over 5k miles and still no chicken strips (and I ride like a grandad) ie bike is always upright! Ps I also had to put a plug in the new michelin's at less than 500 miles....man that hurt! Friggin self tapping screw some twit lost on the road!
Another vote for PR3's. Might be worth giving JHP in Coventry a bell. They had some kicking around a while back..
