Don't forget us 906 owners as well & there are the 851 tricolor, 900ss & even some 750f1's from the same era. surely we make up enough to warrant a run of these each year or so. Perhaps we should contact like groups for these bikes & put forward a united case. The more using this tyre the more likely to remain in production & we should show Michelin that there are plenty of us out there.

Maybe we need to ride more to justify them making the rubber in our size, I will gladly do my best to use mine more often if rubber is guarranteed. Although I must admit I have NEVER had any trouble getting them in overnight from my local (Yamaha) dealer :thumbup:

Sorry, stuffed that up - here goes......

Redpaso, does your local dealer think they are still available?

I received an official email from Michelin stating that the sizes for Pasos are no longer being produced.
We are high-and-dry.

If so, then very hard times are coming to Paso owners. Luckily i have new set of 16" tires in my 750 Paso and i have it only for some sunday drives, maybe 2-3 times/summer. And i have near all 17" stuff ready for modification, if needeed to do it... Myabe have to open "17" coneversion discussion" section to here to get all that stuff to same place

I pleaded with them but they said it simply did not make 'business sense' to produce tires that were selling around 100 sets per year.

Chalk up another reason I boycott Michelin.

You can't hate them for making a sound business decision.

I will write to them too as it seems there is always a couple of these stories floating about. If this is true, then we really need to compile a definitive "How To" in the FAQ on how to make the change to 17: wheels.
