    can't find pirelli tire

    need some new rubber for my KTM but can't find an MT18 for the front. I can find the MT16 for the rear, just not the front. I'm running that combo now and would prefer to stay with it over running a 16 front and rear. WHERE ARE YOU HIDING THEM?

    also need some new bearings, anybody sell a kit to do the whole bike?

    As I understand it, most people (including myself) run the 16 up front, 18 in the rear.

    Looking through the parts unlimited catalog now, I see MT16 and MT21, but no MT18's.... let me know if you like we can go over some options.

    I think both the Scorpion XCMH and the Scorpion Pro may be from the MT18 series of tires.

    My new favorite woods front tire is the Bridgestone M403 though.

    Saw the Scorpion Pro and looks quite similar to the MT18...
