Look at quick links (sticky) and click on tyre choices. I've been riding on TKC80s for most of the last 200,000 miles.

Save your cash fella. The Stella is doable on normal tyres.

There were road bike at the top in 2011 . its just a gravel track now and the guy who sells the badges etc driveshalfway up in a van.

Enjoy your trip.

I did the stella on Pirelli Scorpions in 2011. You don't need off road tyres. There was a bloke on an old Vespa up there!
Also saw an English reg R100/7 and another English reg R100RT as well. You don't even need an off-road bike....it's just a rocky track, no harder than a mild green lane. Sports bikes do it.
Of course a crosser or enduro bike on full knobblies makes it easy, but that's not the point!!
You'll be okay on whatever tyres you ride down there on.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I did the stella last year and your right road tyres did ok, we are thinking of going to do the LGKS ridge road this year and woundered if that was the same, should of included that in the original post.

Thanks again.
