PIRELLI TYRES
We talked to the good folk at Nationwide Accessories about what was hot in their Pirelli tyre range. As you can imagine we couldn’t stop them raving about one tyre after another. So after going back and forward a couple of times, we settled on the tyres listed below. Here we have a good spread of some of the newer bags, rim protectors, skins or whatever you want to call them… Remember that all your old favorites are still available. For off road there’s the Scorpion MX mid soft (32), mid hard (454), hard (486) and eXTRA and then there’s the road tyres. So slip into your local and get the low down on what’s best for you.
