Replacement Tire options

Howdy. I'm at 5600 miles on the clock and tires. I am planing on replacing them soon maybe at 8000? I ride a lot on the scooter, it is my primary commuter to work.

I don't lean much in turns, and all of my commute is on straight roads. So now the rear tire is pretty square. Some tread is left, but the wear bars are closing in fast.

I am wondering what tires are made that offer long tire life. That is my main concern. And well who makes tires for this size scooter?

So far I know of:
Michelin City Grip
OEM IRC

There are also Dunlop (rear), Sava (rear) and Maxxis in the correct sizes.

Tires are tires, especially with the PCX's usage scenario. Go with what you can find for cheap. :)

+1 for cheapest
Which was Michelins last time I bought a pair.
Still haven't fitted the front one so the original IRC front is up to 13,500 miles now and looks like it will easy make 15,000 maybe more...

My front tire has the little knobbies on it. I have less than half that many miles though. ;)

Maybe this guy needs new tires. His Croc dissappears down the hill, ouch.
