Hey BJ, hope all is well down at Scorpa Mexico HQ down there. As far as tyres go I have one word for you:
DUNLOP (for the rear anyway).
Always feels good to change a Michy that a new bike comes with and put a Dunlop on. The softer compound "feels" to have better grip in the dry, and the stiffer sidewall seems to be more resistant to sidewall staking. Although the Michelin with its softer sidewall can sometimes feel better in the mud and really slippery stuff. Being softer the Dunlop will wear quicker, but they are a fair bit cheaper so it all works out.
BUT..... they are a right old c**t to bead, need much more pressure than a Michy, so keep that in mind...
Cheers,
Your friendly Neighbourhood ScorpaMan,
Scorps
