Happy you got to a solution (and hopefully more will open up in the future if Pirelli ever responds).

One note on the tubes - make sure you get the appropriate tubes for the type of tire—bias or radial. I didn’t realize myself that there were differences, but I heard on the Adventure Rider Radio that temperatures and expansion play a role, so you want to match them (might be something that everyone else but me already knows).

Oh, I do not know anything else than those tubes will be Continental. Isn't that known car tires manufacturer? Anyway, they have already shipped my tires ... but I will ask/check this. I hope they noticed this matter as I let them to choose me those tubes  :sad:.

Look forward to hearing your impressions. I'm still on the fence on what I will put on my V7 Stornello.

Nope, but I have rode those twice.

No ''gears''. Do not drop/fall/slide your feet from snowmobile ... it might hit/touch on the snow/land.
