Posted June 8, 20205 yr I was wondering if those Pirelli Scorpion STR tires that come on the bike are tubeless ready? I was going to sell my KTM 1190 ADV R but it needs tires and I want something more aggressive on the T7. Might be a good swap? It appears they have the same sizes.
June 8, 20205 yr The rear rim can be run tubeless with no fear. It is a safety rim with a lip. The front is not a safety rim. I will convert the rear wheel on my future Tenere to tubeless with an Outex kit I have already purchased. Most flats are on the rear tire so this is a no brainer. Some riders believe that the front wheel is "safe" to convert if you run 19 psi or higher. I have already purchased a TPMS kit and will monitor and research more before I consider converting the front wheel.
