And the opinion given by Im_That_guy is very similar to the opinions of a few fellas that got a RE 650.

I didn't knew they were a copy of a Pirelli tyre.
Those tires aren't. They must have changed manufacturer. The earlier 650's use a cheaper version of the Pirelli SportComp tire.

India started charging a high tariff on foreign made tires. So now the Enfields come on Ceat tires. I don’t know what year that started though but mine is a 2022 and the one I looked at and test road was a 2021 and it also had Ceat Zoom Cruise.

Likely around 2020 then. I know the 2019s had the cheap Pirelli tires on them. That was the last one I rode. They were OK tires really, just wore out super fast. Most guys were lucky to get 3k out of the rear.

I already have 3500 miles on my Ceat tires… still around 50%. 100% on the outer edges because we don’t have any high speed corners around here.
