Hi everyone

I think it is clear we all would like to get some 130 / 60 16 and 160 / 60 16 for our Pasos.

I read all the threads and I see that one can go for the Avon conversion (even so I find it not very convincing to do so).

What I did not get so far: Did anyone try to get an official answer from Michelin, that they are not going to produce the orginal tires any time in the future? If not I would try to get an official statement from the company.

Because I do not want to go vor the Avon conversion, I might give the bike away :,( .... not easy for me because I do like the 906 a lot).

Thanks for your answer.

Hardo

Hi Hardo, I sent a message to Michelin France in May (2009):

J'ai une Ducati Paso 906 de 1989, (M 59A et M 59X)
Moi et beaucoup d'autres ducatistes sommes etonnés par le manque absolut des pneus Michelin pour cette moto. Michelin est un symbol de qualité et nous voulons croire que ça va etre resolu, mais il n'y a pas d'information à cet sujet.
Je vous remercie pour quelques informations.

And received this message:

Pour l'instant je ne peut pas vous assurer la crèation et commercialisation des dimensions pour votre moto. Malheuresement les gammes dimensionelles sont enormes et nous ne pouvons pas satisfaire le 100% de la demande.
S'il y a des nouvelles par rapport à la commercialisation de produit des dimensions de votre Ducati, je vous tiendre au courant.

So, for the english readers, there isn't a yes or no answer, just wait and see...

In the current metzler tires catalog

http://www.metzelermoto.de/de_DE/browse ... t_2009.pdf

I can find a 130/70 ZR 16 called Sportec M3 Front and a 160/70 VB 16 called ME 1 CompK

Did anyone dry this combination? Should be much easier to adjusted tham the Avon rear 180 / 60 - 16.
