Hi and seasons greetings to all. Does anyone have any opinions as to whether Pirelli trials tyres
are any good? I've recently bought a Ts with what look like new tyres on it, MT13 rear and MT43 front.
I useually use IRC and the Pirelli's do feel a harder compound. Any thoughts?
Cheers :guinness:

best thing you can do is take them of and throw them away.good on a trail bike but crap on a trials bike.

i was recently using one on the front it was new and gripped very well but if old and edges worn off prob not so good ,trail lads favour the rear pirelli as they are hard wearing so good for the road prob too hard for trials use

Hello all. MT13 Pirelli tyres were the tyre to use in the seventies All of the Spanish bikes had them on from standard but compared to todays tyres you would probably be better off with Chinese trials universals on it. Bully Lover.
