Pera.
The UK agent I got mine from is here:
XT-644 Army Special
Elsewhere in Europe they are probably sold by Mitas or their agents.

Best tyres for XT600E 2003 4PT
Hi Guys, I would like to take the opportunity to thank everyone for their contibutions so far. The information provided has led me to Michelin Sircas as the best replacements for my present Mitchelin T63s, given my current more road orientated use of my XT600E. So I have made my choice and thanks very much to all, the new tyres are being ordered!!
I was led to the T63s for my trip to Morocco by a previous thread on this site and they proved to be a superb choice. If the Sircas are anywhere near as good as the T63s I will be a happy guy!
Cheers guys. Brad XT

+1 for the T63s. If they still made them they would be on my 3TB right now.
I have no chicken stripe on the T63 that is on the front of my 43F. Phenomenal tarmac grip for a knobbly and very close to pegs down on a warm roundabaout.
Good to see you got sorted and I hope the Siracs are as good.
Perhaps you can review them for us once you have got used to them? That would be very useful.

Nice to see that you finally picked the Michelin SIRAC.
Both my XT's wear this rubber.
They look quite agricultural compared to more road based tyres such as the Tourance etc..... I'd rate SIRAC's 70% tarmac 30% light trail.
Good stickiness in the wet and long lasting rubber.
Ride safely.

Hey Jens
Lyder som du har en ved en del om xt600
Måske du kan hjælpe mig
Har en xt600 fra 02 som tidligere ejere har monteret alufælge på
Har tænkt mig at montere heidenau k60-scout dæk på
På baghjulet er der monteret 140/80 r17 slangeløs metzeler tourance, og på fælgen står der 17+2,75
Så er spørgsmålet, tror du at jeg kan montere heidenau 130/80 r17 med slange på det fælg?
Det ser ud til at der er mere bid i det dæk end den heidenau der hedder 140/80 r17 slangeløs
