With this in mind, I’ve decided to look at a well-priced tyre that has been around in the dualie market for years now.

Meet the Pirelli Scorpion MT90 A/T
The MT90 is a 70/30 road-biased adventure tyre, commonly used in OE applications and is the KTM 990 Adventure faithful in the 90/90-21 and 150/70-18 applications.
