OEM tire question (TT or TL)

Recommended Posts

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.

Tyres are tubeless, but not the rims. Therefore it needs a tube.

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.

Thanks, that's what I was curious about.  I wanted to make sure they were TL type so they could be run on the KTM.  🍻
