The pcx 2019 has 3.15 wide wheel, as far as I can remember. Narrow wheel will squeeze the tire so the contact patch becomes less.

Thanks for pointing this out, I was unaware of the wider wheels on the newer models. I have also fitted the wider tires on my scoot and it's good to keep in mind the smaller contact patch.

The IRC tires on my US spec 2019 150 have a nasty squidgy feel in the damp. Seeing as how the poor little thing is used in the San Francisco city limits exclusively, I think I'll replace them in the late fall before the rains start. Streetcar tracks, potholes and roadwork are not good for scooters, for sure.
