Update.
My wife's PIRELLI SL60 reach 5280KM. Will do some more.
Mine DUNLOP K180 is 1560Km. Great. But wears too much.

I will keep you inform.

Update.
My PIRELLI SL60 had lasted 3500KM. Will do some more.
My DUNLOP K180 is now 1880 and very nearly at the limit. Will not do a lot more than 2000 Km. I will not buy it again.

 

[Artemis]

2400 Km with the DUNLOP K180.

Looks like SL60 is the way to go. Has anyone on here tried Kenda K761, they look reasonable as far as looks go, and are available in the correct size and load ratings

 

[Artemis]

Yes PIRELLI SL60 last longer. Next i will try MITAS MC19. The SL60 isn't available actually.

 

[Artemis]

2600 Km with the DUNLOP K180 in the rear.
The new one is MITAS MC19.
Put some PIRELLI SL60 in the front. 14000 Km for the original one's. Not totally worn but a bit of cracks.

 

[Monkey1]

The Mitas looks good, it will be interesting to here how you think it performs

Granted I’m new to all this but it doesn’t seem like we have many choices here in the US in terms of street tires for the Monkey. The stock Vees and what else?

 

[Artemis]

5880 Km so far for the SL60 in the rear for my wife.
MITAS MC19 are good. 600Km. Will keep you inform.

 

[Grommit23]

Wow thanks for the updates in tires. Please keep it going. Not many options. I'll pass on the Dunlop for sure now.

 

[Artemis]

Mitas MC19 feels soft... Hope it will last.
You don't have real choice... For the time being the SL60 is not availlable...

I'm looking at the duro hf903 for my Grom. You have any experience with them?

 

[Artemis]

Never tried them. But if they are cheap go for them. I think they are soft like the others so they will be OK.

 

[Monkey1]

Has anyone tried Kenda K761?

 

[Grommit23]

I actually just ordered the Kendra big block for my Grom. Hopefully they'll be ok on and off road.

I won't need tires any time soon but I've been keeping a list of what should be available here in the US. Doesn't look like the stock 80% aspect ratio is a common size so 70% will have to do.

Update.
PIRELLI SL60 3500 km (6000 km for my wife) : no longer availlable in Europe.
DUNLOP K180 2600 KM
MITAS MC19 2450 KM so far. Pics of the MITAS.

 

[Magilla]

Here's my stock Vee Rubber at 5,200 miles. Looks like I can get 5,000 more. No complaints about grip but as you can tell by the wear, I'm not pushing their limits.

 

[Artemis]

Some update. 2800 km so far with MITAS MC19. Around 50% wear.
Better handling than stock ones wich are too hard, but a bit less sticky than the PIRELLI SL60 (no longer availlable).

 

[Artemis]

some news. 4073 km with the MITAS MC19. Not worn.
