I just got new tires fitted on my 750 Paso, and I tell you what a difference. I installed the Metzler tires recommended on the german Ducati pdf, found on this site. The rear tire was really close to the swing arm, and the license plate so I relocated the plate. The mechanic recommended adding a link to the chain to get an extra bit of length to the adjustment. The rear tire now has about 3/8 of an inch of clearance to the swingarm. The front is about 1/4 of an inch of clearance to fender. The bike sits abit higher so I'm thinking of extending the kickstand abit, but man does it handle better than the 7 year old Michelins. So far no complaints, I'll keep you posted.

Also, I have a friend who also owns a paso, but he needs a front rim, his is bent, does anyone have a spare front in good shape?

Guzzitech should have a pile of them


and there is always ebay.........

How much for the spare wheel? I sure we could drive up if needed.

egagnon3 --> I just picked up a 1988 Paso 750. I have done quite a bit of research concerning tires and came across Ducati Germany's recommendations. I'm glad to hear you have had success installing the recommended tires. Did you have to do any modifications? What tires did you use?

To save me searching all of the topics, could you please list the model and size of Metzler tires that you used.

I am about ready to give up my old tires.

I will sell my 750 Paso and for this reason I have some spare tires to be sold here.
All tires have been stored evacuated and sprayed with silicone in a dark box, so they are in a good condition, even not brand new. I have:
130 x 60 x 16 one tire Metzeler Price: 160€; shipping cost additionally
