Which tyres are recommended for good milage/grip on the Forza 300/350?

[Silversmurfer]

And how many miles can I expect to get out of the best tyres? I would love to have something which gets 8k, same as the maintenance schedule.

I have used Dunlop Scootsmart, Michelin CityGrip, Michelin Powerpure, Heidenau, Michelin CityGrip 2 M&S, Shinko & ContiScoot.

I got the best milage out of the Michelin CityGrip 16,323 km or 10,142 miles in British Columbia, Canada.

I tend to use my tires to bald, no money.

The CityGrip is good in the rain and even on gravel roads.

I am currently running a ContiScoot rear tire. Not sure how long it will last. Any NEW tire feels so nice.

One problem for you, I assume you are British (Tyre), is that the Michelin is not made in the official size in your manual. Here in Canada nobody cares what size tire you run.

Very few companies make a 140/70-13 tire. I don't know what size you need. 150/70-13 works just fine.

The front tires last 2 to 3 times as long as a rear tire.

I have 166,000 km (103,000 miles) on my 2014 Honda Forza 300.

I installed these this summer (using 150/70 13 on rear) and they handle very nice. Not sure of longevity can't speak to that. The Dunlop Scoot Smart tires (OEM) both lasted 15K but didn't handle nearly as well as the Pirellis. Good luck.

I run Pirelli on 3 of my bikes. Was a Metzeler man before, but love the Pirelli now.
The angel CiTy are great for bikes up to 400cc that run 17's

Scootsmart are those that most places in London want to fit, but they do not get good reviews - poor handling and rain performance so if that's all they are willing to fit I am not interested. Cheap and good margins for the dealers / garages.

Stick with MCG if you can get them - they just work very well and no need to worry. Heidenau are good too as are Pirelli.

I'm in the market for new tires for my 2016 Forza, been using the 150/70-13 City Grip.

However, I cannot find the Michelin in stock anywhere, Nor any of the other popular brands I have always relied on. No Dunlops, no Avon, no Michelin, no Metzler. But I see the Pirelli Diablo Rosso in stock. May have to give it a try. I typically shop at Rezilla or Cycle Gear.
Does anyone know of any tire sellers in the US with good stock via mail order?
Thanks
