    Tyre choices for summer?

    Hey guys/gals....give me an idea as to what are a good set of tyres for Summer? I will be riding on hard, grassy sometimes slick tracks?

    Thanks

    Pirelli Scorpion medium hard compound knobbly's seem to last me an extra w/end or 2 .
    3 to 4 w/ends, & not always 2 day w/ends,was all I could get out of a rear Tyre before that.
    Depending on how much riding your doing be prepared to do a lot of tyre changing the 530 see's to that.

    Thanks I'll give those a try....You are right the 530 eats rear tyres
