Could it be the tire is under inflated? I notice the pressure is 41 PSI. I only realised recently when I had a look at the tire and did the research online. I did that because I got my scooter 2 weeks ago and I'm slowly learning about it. I realised I've been following the stock tire pressure specs all the time (36PSI)gn2 wrote:No, the fact that you are fitting them to an underpowered scooter which will barely crack 60mph means that any half decent tyre will suffice.redwind wrote:
So the tyres being round and black makes the variation in compounds used insignificant.
Very astute observation.
Best to get the one which lasts longest, all evidence seen thus far suggests that the City Grip is the one to go for.
The IRC tyres grip well but the rears wear rapidly.
I doubt it.gohjohan wrote:Could it be the tire is under inflated?
I think you will find that IRC are very slightly larger in diameter. So fitting City Grips has the potential to lower the maximum speed by 5 kph. If one is into that kind of stuff.SmellyTofu wrote:Michelin and IRC are the same.
