PIRELLI SC30 RETRO 3.50-10
Has anyone here used these before? How do they compare to the Michelin S83? I found the SC30's for $22.30 and the S83 for $26.39

Thanks, Brian.

Yes,They came standard on P 200's in 1980. And I have a set on my Rally they are a great vintage tire for the price. I would buy them again. I also just bought a set of Mich. S83 because the price was right.

Both tire look to be the same.. I like the OG better..

Thanks GateKeep. I am ordering tonight.

i have them and i need a new rear,good tire, thanks for the tip

Where are you finding those prices? That's cheap. Though it is my opinion that you should support your local shop whenever possible. Pay a bit more for tires so that the cable that snaps on your way home or the gasket you forgot during your rebuild will be there when you need it.

If a local shop had them for $10 more I would consider it. But even they are asking $47.95 for a single tire, I will purchase online.
I do a majority of the work on my own scooters and to be honest, when you call a shop with a question or to buy parts and they are too busy to help and never call back when they said they would, I will not do business with them.
I do support one local shop in my area, but I do not buy everything there. The tire shop is in Arizona, not far from my other home.

i'm with you jets

where did you find those prices online

Motorcycle-superstore.com has the Pirelli SC 30s for a really low price. I have them on both my scooters, and they have been great performers, in addition to having a vintage appearance.

I'd prefer to buy local but, I would have to drive to Hartford Ct.

I still have not seen a shifty scoot around here besides mine. I should come up with some sort of name for myself like "LoneShifty" or some more pithetic.

go with a cholo gang name like loner, get it tated on your neck or chest in old english script

I'm out in western Ma all the time with the bike. This year will be the 1st on the P out that way. Aren't there still a few local groups in your area ?

I buy my tires from Motorsport Scooters. If I was going to buy a tire that needed to be mounted and balanced I'd buy it from the shop that was going to do the work.
