Tyre Classic and for tuned engines
Product description
The 3.50-8” 53P TL SIP Classicis the only tubeless tyre available that is certified for use at up to 150 kph with a classic tread pattern. Our very own SIP tyres are also equipped with modern features and are extremely good value for money.
The 8” wheel tuning scene creating increasingly rapid scooter projects and the development of the SIP tubeless rims demands the production of a tyre to match. A higher speed rating, tubeless, but including a suitably styled tread pattern. The design of this 8” tyre is based upon the tried and tested VRM 108 from Vee Rubber, which already enjoys great popularity amongst the 'Faro Basso' Vespisti. It possesses very good riding qualities, even in wet conditions.
- High load capacity
- Approved up to 150 km/h
- Attractive price-performance ratio
- Also available with pre-mounted rims
The deep profile also allows a higher mileage to be realised and the 'P' rating makes them legal for road use up to 150 kph! A true novelty for tyres of this size as previous versions were restricted to be used at speeds up to 100 kph. The high load index 53 permits putting more weight on the scooter, than with all other tires in the market.
This makes the tyres the first choice for tuned scooters, especially if your local vehicle testers check such details...
Most 8" tyres also require the use of an inner tube (TT), and do not tubeless rims. Our SIP Classic tyres are designed after ETRTO for our new tubeless aluminium 8” wheel rims, making any tubes redundant.
We also have them available in sets of three, which also helps to reduce the overall cost. If you wish to save yourself the hassle of assembly there are also sets of pre-assembled tyres available, already fitted to the new SIP Classic rims! Plug & Play!
Information: Vee Rubber undersign certify that this SIP tubeless tire can be use as Tube Tire and Tubeless.
Conclusion : The SIP Classic tyres represent the first choice option for all vintage Vespa riders at almost unbeatable value for money!
We recommend for the best setup - SIP TIP:
- SIP 8" tubeless rims to order as well
- Air stopp spray should always be at hand
- An air pump is extremely helpful
- We offer tyre and rim mounting service
Opinions of the press and experts
"I recently fitted SIP Scootershop’s new Classic tyres to my Vespa T5. I started first with my usual Michelin S83 on the front and the new SIP on the rear to see how the profiles matched: it felt very good. As for riding conditions, until now they’ve endured rain, frost, damp leaves and most of what winter throws at you except for the snow. So far so good as they say, and as these new tyres are rated to 93mph those with tuned classic scooters as well (myself included) will no doubt be interested in these too."
- Andy Gillard, Chefredakteur SCOOTER NOVA MAGAZIN
"I was out riding at the weekend with a pair of the SIP Classic tyres mounted. In the dry the performed surprisingly well and reminded me of the characteristics of the Michelin S83 tyres which were previously fitted to my scoot. Visually they have a tread reminiscent of that found on the scooters in the PIAGGIO museum, which to me resemble off-road knobblies almost! The central running strip of the tread profile is continuous however, similar to the type found on some vintage motorcycles."
- Andre, SIP Team, September 2016
"In Summer 2018 i put my Farobasso with tuned engine on the road. It is quite fast. But with the SIP Shocks, the tube less rims and the Classic tyre it is perfect on the road. Smooth, no handlebar vibrations, good in curves and bad roads. This gives me a safety feeling on this old bike.I got it even legalized through the the German TÜV - because of the high Speedindex of the tires..."
