Aprilia Tuareg 660 Tyre Size
The Aprilia Tuareg 660 runs a 90/90/21 front tyre and a 150/70/18 rear tyre. You can click those links to see all the different tyre options for this bike.
Here at Two Tyres we’re motorcycle tyre specialists and can supply any tyre to you by mail order. Or you can have them fitted in our London motorcycle workshop.
One of the great things Aprilia have done with the new Tuareg is equip it with a 21″ front wheel and an 18″ rear, which a very common combination on Enduro and Off-Road bikes – meaning you can fit some very good knobbly tyres if you want to go off-road.
The skinny 21″ front wheel isn’t the ideal size for road riders. However if you’re purely riding on the road, we’ve also suggested some great options to give you maximum feel, grip and confidence.
Aprilia Tuareg History
As with everything these days, retro is cool. Resurrecting a name and re-working an old classic is a sure fire way to sell bikes and Aprilia are in on the action.
The original Tuareg was launched in 1985 and ran until 1994. Aprilia turned their attention to Motorcycle Grand Prix racing and their new model line-up was equally heavily biased towards sportsbikes. Let’s face it; they produced and continue to produce some brilliant superbikes.
However, there’s no ignoring the Retro trend, nor the massive popularity of Adventure bikes. So, new for 2022 is the all-new Tuareg, using the same 659cc parallel-twin engine first seen in the RS660 and Tuono 660 models.

Best Tyres for the Aprilia Tuareg 660
The OEM Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres are good quality dual-purpose tyres and a good choice if you’re doing a bit of everything on the bike.
However, if you’re a pure road rider or looking to spend most of your time off-road, there are some far better options for you.
Pure Road
If you’re not taking your Tuareg down anything more sinister than a gravel track, then these are great options for the pure road riders.
Dual Purpose
The original-fitment Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres are dual purpose tyres. They’re not the best on the road, nor amazing off-road but if you want a do-it-all tyre, they’re a good option. Here are a couple of other suggestions.
Continental TKC70 – Slightly more road-biased, central belt reduces vibration on the road
Off-Road
If you’re heading off-road often, then these tyres are capable of taking on any terrain.

Are your tyre pressures letting you down?
We couldn’t find a tyre pressure gauge that was well-built, easy to get on-and-off the valve without pressure loss and could stand up to day-to-day abuse in our workshop. So we found a manufacturer to build one to our exacting standards.
We’re confident this is the best motorcycle pressure gauge out there. That’s why it comes with a 3-year, no-nonsense, money back guarantee.
Whether you want a digital tyre pressure gauge or a good old-fashioned analogue pressure gauge, we’ve got a gauge for you. Now you can quickly and easily check your pressures, to keep your bike handling well and to ensure you stay safe.
