In time I'm going to need tyres for my PCX.
Despite this scooter being a massive sales success, it seems like no-one is advertising suitable tyres for sale.
All the tyre sites I go on don't list a suitable pair, although Pirelli do Diablos for it. (pricy)
Maxxis and Michelin do 120/70-14 and 140/70-14, but not sure if they would be suitable.
OEM IRC tyre sizes are 90/90-14 front and 100/90-14 rear
Any suggestions for suitable (preferably cheap) replacements or anyone know of a good IRC stockists?

Re: PCX Tyres
Didnt your Honda dealer tell you the scoots were disposable, once anything wears out you just bin it
Seriously though, Im sure your Honda dealer will be able to help here. Have you done an ebay search?

Re: PCX Tyres
The Honda dealer is the one place I haven't looked, perhaps I should before too long.
Maybe I might get a pleasant surprise.
We shall see.

Re: PCX Tyres
My experience of Maxxis tyres was not a good one; on the T-Max, they were damn scary in the wet.

Re: PCX Tyres
I had Maxxis on my first X8 and I thought they were shite too. I didn't realise it until I got my second X8 which had Michelins and I discovered it handled a hell of a lot better. 

Re: PCX Tyres
Nice one Phantom, maybe I'll try those next.
In the end I paid £70
for an OEM rear from the Honda dealer.
