new rear pirelli trashed

[pierce]

I think the ST-66 only has the rear. I don't think the front is made in the proper size. Could be wrong though - perhaps someone will chime in that knows more than I do.

110-80-16 was the front size. On superstore.

Rear 140 70/16

what the heck is the "P" and is it compatible?

Thanks for your help guys!

P is the speed rating. It's fine. P=95mph.

Thanks man!

Yea, I've hit 95 on my Blast last fall, but there was not much left( still have not gotten an ignition to increase the rev. limit)

Those tires are rated for a scooter almost 200lbs heavier than a Blast - so that P rating should be taken with a grain of salt - lol - the ST 66 rear in 140/70 and the Diablo front in 110/70 are ideal choices - unless planning on gravel and dirt - then you would get the 110 ST66 - it will fit.

They are either updated or the site lies. They are S rated last I looked. Newer model of the st66 possibly?

They were referring to the pirelli diablo, not the ST-66.

Thanks for the info, everyone. Sounds like getting a rear ST66 + front Diablo is the way to go when shooting for longest tread durability (10,000 miles!) and considering availability of tire sizes.

Can anyone comment on speedometer error and gas mileage change (if any) when compared to stock?

I was thinking about going st66 front and back. Not quite sure of the 110/80-16 fitment on the front for the st66 though. Not sure on wheel fitments either

EZ..... The st66 110/80 16 will fit the front? And why would the Diablo be a better choice for the front?. I live in the desert. So dusty roads and loose gravel is common
