Maybe stock clearout making way for CityGrip2 ?

Great deal! I can’t remember what size is works with the Forza 300 from Michelin for the rear? Is it 140/60 13? Mine is getting down there and front we’ll, soon enough.

I know what the OEM specs are, I was unclear in asking what size Michelin city grips people usually put on the Forza 300? The closest size was 170/60 13.

Won’t that be the OEM spec size?

Ok, I’m confusing everyone. City Grips don’t come in the OEM spec’d size for Forza 300. I’m wondering what size would be the best fit in City Grip that would still work? I think I found it anyway, 150/70 13, which they don’t have in this sale. Bummer.

I use 150 70 13 for my rear Forza. I have the Pirelli Diablo on, I prefer stock size 140 70 13, I think the smaller size makes the bike feel more agile. However the only tires that are offered in that size is the Pirelli Angel which I think is way too stiff of a tire and the Dunlop Smartscoot which has not great reviews.

The City grip for Forza 150 70 13 should fit fine as others have had it here. I am going to wait for a blowout sale just like thse 120 70 13 from bike bandit.

Sounds good. Thanks for the clarification and review. I can’t find that size (150/70 13) even available from Bike bandit.

I bought the 150 70 13 rear from Revzilla for 61.00 free ship and just paid tax. Seems like the City Grip is pleasing phased out for the City Grip 2. Everywhere is out of stock on some sizes.

[87112]

I finally slapped the City Grips on. I really like them a lot. It soft and agile and comfortable, this feels just like the 1st edition Pirelli Diablo. I can't tell them apart.

My recent tire exp with Pirelli with their latest is not good, somehow they made the Angel and Diablo Rosso stiffer, less comfortable and less road feel than the 1st Diablo. To be honest, the latest offering by Pirelli for scooters suck.

I am a Michelin Convert.

City Grip 2 here is being sold anywhere from £40 inc. of vat. It seems it's dual purpose for both front and back - not one for front and one for back.

After best part of 23,000 miles, with still legal tread I've just got round to replacing the front tyre pre-MOT. The trusty IRC did me proud.

For those in London, HGB wanted £90 fitted but a local Motorcylce/Scooter place said £55 fitted so went with that (tyre ordered, waiting for it to arrive).

How reliable would using 120 70 14 on the front of a 2013 pcx be when using a stock sized rear wheel..?

[iceman]

So, now have CG's on both front and rear - original CG on the rear and CG2 on the front. As the CG2 seems to be dual purpose - front or rear in one tire, I looked and it has arrows on it pointing one way for front mounting and the other for rear.

Tbh, I don't believe there is much difference in any decent tire as they all have to meet stringent specs, at least in the UK. The Bridgestone B-AX seemed ok although I only had it on temporarily - decent tread pattern that seemed better than what comes with the CG2 - but that's just looks, actual performance . . . well, who knows.

Feel sad in a way to have got rid of the front IRC after 22,300 loyal miles (still legal but getting to the legal limit). The rear IRC lasted 13,500. Both used all year round in heavy rain and some icey conditions - no issues at all.
