How much are you all paying for your Scorp Trails? Any Tips on the best and cheapest source? |

That's what I have been seeing. A little pricey for my taste, but I don't see a good choice. |

I bought them from Motorcycle Superstore http://motorcycle.motorcycle-superstore.com/search #w=Scorpion+Trail $120 front and $168 rear. Maybe not the cheapest, but I really like MSS. Good customer service and they're fast! |

Does anyone have any experience running the wrong size tire on the Uly rim? I believe the Trail is designed for a 6 inch rim, not the Uly's 5.5 inch rim. I found this info which makes a pretty good case that running a fatter tire may result in poorer/unpredictable tire performance and lower overall tire life. http://www.bmwmcnj.com/Articles/TireWidth.html http://www.sportrider.com/tech/tires/146_0206_tire _size/index.html DB |

I would also be interested in any information about tire size and it's impact on handling. Drew |

Oh man, there's been about 10 thread discussing running Trails in a 190 on the Uly. The handling is not noticeably effected at all! |

The Uly rear wheel seems to be forgiving. I run 160 Distanzias with no problems. They're SM tires with good on and off road grip. |
