PCX tyres on-off???

Post by nisidotatos »

Hello,
i am interested in buying the PCX.
I will use it everyday on a "light" dirt road.

Do you know if any tyres exist that are on-off in some way?

Regards
Panagiotis

Michelin City Grips should be fine.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong

I'm not sure what he has on there now, but he got about 6k miles out of the first set.

Ive got a short dirt road I sometimes use with my stock IRC tires and no problems. But I slow to about 25mph on it as sometimes wallabies jump out in front of you and wouldnt want to hit one of those on the PCX as they are around 4 foot tall with no road sense!

any street tire can do 'light off-road' if you use common sense and just be careful about it
