Re: Radial Tires on PCX.
I'm interested as well. But one thing I've come to realize on this forum. It takes DAYS to get responses! I've found better luck just contacting a local Honda shop.

Re: Radial Tires on PCX.
Not answering for days is usually a sign that none of us has had experience with them. There are some members on this forum who are more experienced than the rest of us, but they work a regular job so may not have time to get on the forum for several days.

Re: Radial Tires on PCX.
Motorcycles and scooters are designed with a specific type of tyre in mind.
In order to use radial tyres it has to be designed around them.
The PCX isn't and there aren't radial tyres available for it.

Aren't tyres by their very nature radial
Re: Radial Tires on PCX.
No, they're circumferential.

Re: Radial Tires on PCX.
I experimented with cross ply and radial tyres back in the day with my old Bandit 600 which came with standard cross-plys. I could still drag the pegs and nearly destroyed one just on the cross plys.
The only advantage was a larger range with choices of stickier rubber on the radials. I would need to remove the lower fairing, kickstand, centre stand and be dragging the frame on my PCX round corners before I needed to resort to better tyres than the OE Pirellis.
If you can find them and like them, go for it. If you're confident with the OEM tyres, that's great. Confidence and trust are the biggest factor in my tyre choosing decisions and hence I'm happy to admit to being a bit of a Bridgestone/Pirelli guy. I never much liked the others and that's probably all in my imagination anyway.
Good luck and let us know what you find out.
