WOW
This tire is awesome. Pirelli has always been known for high speed car tires and they didn't spare any expense on their scooter tires either. Not to mention Motorcycle Superstore's price is soooo good and low. The service and timely shipment is outstanding. Keep up the good works MSS.

Wore out in less than 1000 miles, Dont buy!
Put this tire on my Elite 250. Awesome grip and handling but it wore out in less than 1000 Miles. Don't buy it unless you're going to the race track!

SL 26 Pirelli Tire
I had bought a set of these a few months ago. I would NOT recommend the back tire to anyone. After just 1500 miles-The tire was bald and had cords showing. Now I am out the cost of a replacement tire, and installation. I had installed the other tire myself. I had to have this tire installed for me as I found out the condition-and the tire had rendered my scooter un-drivable. I will NEVER buy another Pirelli tire!

Pirelli SL 26- Front/Rear Scooter Tire
I was very pleased with the help I got when I called in my order. The tires were delivered undamaged in a timely manner. The tires have made such a difference in the ride on my scooter. The Pirelli tires replaced new tires that came from the factory on my scooter. The ride is smooth and I am very happy with the price. I would recommend Motorcycle-Superstore to anyone!

Good tire, but does not last
I bought two of this tires to replace Chinese OEM tires. Worked good, but I had to replace the rear tire after 2000 miles. Front one is ok. On my second rear tire I have about 1200 miles and looks like I will need to replace it in about 800 miles again. Like the tire - hate the durability. I will not buy another one of this. I do not like the idea to replace the tire every 2000 miles.

SL26 Review
I have only driven about 1000 miles and the tires seem to be working out very well. I tend to find myself driving for a little more fun than utility. The Pirelli's handle great. I lucked out and found a local tire shop to mount them both for $12.00 (off of the scooter). I hope they last as long as the originals (8000 miles)...

The tires are great! They make the bike feel so much smoother on the street wet or dry, cornering is so much smoother as well compared to the rock hard stock tires on my Zuma. Will purchase tires again.

Perfect Race & Road Tire
I have been riding these tires for years, its a great race tire but also handles great out on the open road. I used to use the Pirelli SL 28 what I don't think they make anymore for US sales and this tire is even better but with a much different ride it also looks good and will last very long time, I ride almost every day and seem to get around 5000-6000 miles out of them they are very stiff.

Simply awesome!
I was looking to replace the cheap tires that came with my scooter because they did not provide a good ride and performance. As a member of scootdawg.com I checked to see what everyone else recommended and the Pirelli SL26 was rated #1, therefore my choice was easy and I'm so glad I chose them. My scooter rides and handles 100% better than it ever did. Thank you Motorcycle Superstore for your awesome service.

pirelli-SL26 on Tank Urban Sporty 150
The tires fit well on the Tank Urban Sporty 150, but because I traded in the scooter after only a month on the tires, I can only say that they worked great for that month! I'm sure the next person will get some good use out of them.

Love 'em
I got a pair of these on my Zuma in 2005 when it was new after the stock tires had worn down. What an awesome tire. They are a little pricey, but worth every penny. I have ridden on nothing but these tires since 2006. I just bought a Zuma 125 last week and I am already having the stock tires pulled. The Pirelli's hug the road at full lean and are just a better tire in general. I would recommend them to anyone looking for better performance than stock tires.

Gerat improvement over stock Vino tires
I just put these on my 03 Yamaha Vino. They have made the ride much more comfortable and stable. One thing to note; I put the 3.0 on the front and the 3.50 on the back and with the stock rear shock the 3.50 will rub on large bumps.

Am I glad I changed tires
My new Pirelli SL 26 Scooter tires were a perfect fit. Wow, they are so much better than the tires that came with my new Chinese scooter. With the stock tires I could not go faster than 55 they were so much out of round. The Pirelli SL 26 tires just made a new scooter. Grip is excellent. Turning control and stability are superb. I would highly recommend them to any scooter driver.

Pirelli SL 26 on Elite 80
I replaced the original tires on my Elite with these Pirellis about a month ago & love them. The footprint is a little different from my old ones so it took a day or two to get used to but the handling, especially in corners, is tons better. It feels more like a motorcycle now, where before it felt like riding a roller skate. I've heard they may wear faster because they're softer, but they're reasonably priced & worth the improvement.

Pirelli SL26/Helix CN250
Originally purchased two front and rear tires. Rear tire only last 2000-2500 miles. Front tire will probably last 12,000-15,000 miles. If you do a lot of riding, I would not recommend this tire for the rear.

Pirelli SL26 on a P200
Tires are wider than others, fit really close to the rear shock, but clear just fine. The grip on dry pavement is great and stability is a little different from narrower tires. The SL26's tend to have a narrower center contact tread to pavement so balance is different from the narrower tires with more center tread to pavement contact. Lean angle is greater than narrower tires due to the wider shape. For the price, you can't beat this tire.

Great Tires
Not only was the price great and shipping very fast, the tires are excellent. Someone had put a Kenda tire with an aggressive tread on the front of my Helix that was very noisy, sounded like bad wheel bearings. I replaced it with the Pirelli and the noise is gone and the Helix handles great. Thanks

Excellent performance tire
The Pirelli SL26 is super sticky and has a better center profile than most 10" scooter tires. The SL26 completely transformed the handling of my Zuma 50. With these tires, I am turning much faster, getting greater lean angles and it feels like the acceleration has improved slightly. At times the bike feels kind of twitchy, since the Pirellis have less contact area than the chunky stock tires did. My only real concern is longevity, since the compound is so soft. You can bet they will probably wear faster than most, but at this price, it’s definitely worth having a set.

I recently replaced both front and rear tires on my 07 Honda Elite with the SL 26's. Now they’re broken in I want to buy one more additional for the rear. Excellent upgrade from the cheap stock that wore out at 1900 miles.

Zuma scooter tires
The Pirelli SL26 tires were a perfect fit on my Yamaha Zuma (2001). I used bicycle tire irons to remove the old OEM knobby tires and install the new ones. The ride is much smoother and the tracking is more precise. The Motorcycle Superstore's shipping was fast, included tracking numbers and best of all, the price was the lowest I could find. Great deal.

Simply the BEST
What can I say about these tires other than they are the best. I used to have cheap stock tires on my scoot, now I have motorcycle racing tires on it. I still haven't pushed it to the limit on the corners; I think my scoot will scrap before I lose traction. Oh yeah, they stop on a dime.

Good tires so far
I put these on my 150cc China scoot a few weeks ago.
They look like nice tires, they appear to be well built and have a deep tread pattern. I thought Pirelli tires were Italian, but these are made in Brazil--which is still better than China. I immediately noticed an improvement in handling over the stock China tires (no surprise). I did not attempt to balance them, but they feel fine even at top speed (Speedo indicates about 70, but who knows how fast it's really going, probably 60ish). The only thing that I cannot comment on is the durability as I don't even have 1000 miles on them yet. The stock tires were bald in 2000 miles; I'm hoping to get 5000 or so out of these. Wish me luck.

Honda Ruckus front tire
I just changed out a well worn tire with the Pirelli sl26. The feel is, of course, totally different. The tire is smooth and confidence inspiring in corners and I love the sporty look of the tread. The cost was excellent but I don't know about the durability plus I changed the tire myself with a couple of tire levers and the help of a friend. Not a hard job. I love it!

Awesome tire
Upgraded my tube type tire of the same size to this 3.5-10 beauty, and it feels like I got a new bike. I highly recommend this tire! It was a tiny bit bigger than the one it replaced, and was a tight fit, but by doing final inflation once mounted the problem was solved.

Now I gotta watch out scraping the kickstand when leaning in the curves when driving in a spirited manner! :>D I've only put on about 450 miles since I got 'em so I can't testify on the durability yet, but they be looking good so far.

Good tire but poor tread life
I ordered this tire, because it was the stock tire on my Piaggio Fly. The original had only lasted about 3000 miles, which is not very good. It's a nice tire, but won't last long. Next time I'll order something that will last a little longer. Also, the stock tire had a weight rating of 58, and this one has a weight rating of 51 -- quite a difference, but that information was not included on the website description. (Nor was the speed rating - P).

Buy them! No need to search further.
I installed these tires on my 1986 Honda Elite 150D (3.5X10 tubeless). The profile and compound provides incredible handling while still giving a comfortable ride. They're sticky enough for quick stops and not twitchy even at 70 mph. Haven't had a chance to try them in the rain yet but they're basically a baby version of my Hayabusa's tires which are decent on wet roads.

Time will tell. These tires do seem to ride smoother than the stock Pirelli's the GT was shipped with. The grooves appear to be deeper too so maybe they'll last longer.

Excellent Replacement for Stock
We put this tire on a Honda Helix. After having the stock tire for so long, we believed the machine to be just what it is....A big scooter. With this tire, it was like night and day, tremendous cornering compared to the stock! Definitely feels more like a sport bike tire now. May not, however last as long as the standard touring tires that is usually put on these, but gives you much more confidence, especially in the wet.

Pirelli - SL 26 Performance Front/Rear Scooter Tire
Put them on my Bajaj and they are much better handling than the OEM tires. They grip as well as a Conti Zippy but the side wall is not quite as stiff. Very good tire. I got about 3500 miles on the rear one and about 5K on the front before the lopsided wear (ask anyone with a high mileage Bajaj) made them start to handle weird.

SL 26 100/90 x 10
Bought these to replace stock tires on a Bajaj Chetak. It's a much fatter tire than stock, with a softer compound. Scoot handles like a sports car, 100% improvement in handling. Things like road grooves and wind no longer 'steer' the scoot. This is the best, and least expensive bolt on improvement one can make to a Bajaj scooter.

These tires were a vast improvement over the worn stock tires on my Elite 150. Superb handling, cornering, and improved braking as well as top speed. Would definitely recommend these, and they are priced lower than the cheap Chinese tires. You cant go wrong, especially if you have a limited budget. I will install these on my Helix in the spring as well.

I bought these tires for my son's scooter. He says they hold the road much better than the tires that came with scooter. The technician that put them on said that they were awesome tires, but that the scooter dealer didn't carry them because they were hard to get. Luckily I found them through the Motorcycle-SuperStore.com. I used these product reviews to make my decision since I don't know much about tires. I feel like I scored big time on this tire purchase for a Mom!

I purchased and installed these after the dealer (Honda)
sold me two pairs of junk. I have 2 Honda Helix scooter which are great. The tires however are cheap trash and so are the dealer replacements. I purchased these thinking they would be OK. I was very wrong, they are so much better. I can’t even believe the difference for a much, much less price.
These corner excellent and are so much "softer". I can even ride over the lane dots and hardly feel them.

I've had these tires on a Yamaha Vino and a Genuine Stella. Superb improvement over stock tires and block tread. They are little taller and wider than the standard 3.50 tires which make for a much more smooth and confident ride. I'm sticking with these.

I purchased these tires for my 2005 Yamaha Zuma, I love the handling that they have, and the cornering. They are very soft tires, making them hook up very well on any condition of roadway. I would recommend these tires to anyone wanting a quality tire for a cheap price. The tread is very aggressive. I ride in the rain a lot, and I never get splashed because of the tread design and how it flows to the side.

SL 26 Scooter tires Rock!!
After 1200 miiles from some cheap junk tires a dealership put on my Honda 250 elite scooter, I was ready to find something that had better wear, and better grip. Having ridden a gsxr1100 for several years on the track and street, tires mean a lot to me. The sl 26 is the way to go. I have almost 500 miles on them now with no noticable wear yet, and the handling is much better. I have only tested the limit of traction in straight line stops so far, as the side stand now drags. May need to lose
