Best Scooter Tires

Hey this is probably gonna go unseen but can we get scooter reviews too??

Right? Scooters are just as diverse as motorcycles. Plus scooters are a gateway, so more people start riding through being on scooters.

[@FuKingRiders]

I have Michelin Power Pure on the back of my scooter and I can tell you, this tire has a lot of grip man! It is just crazy how much i can lean into a corner! Also, this tire heats up pretty quick, and it is very light! I can only imagine how much more I can lean if i have the same one on the front. Nice video, cheers!

Thanks to your vid I found out that my scooter tires are run flat and bullet proof.I own a 2006 Honda silverwing 600.I used to just kick the tires and they seemed to be hard enough and then I put a tire pressure guage on them and they registered zero pressure. The handling was a bit off but other than that they functioned

City Grip are best tires for max 300cc scooters. Good on hot weather, rain, cold weather. I changed my back wheel tire after 33.000 km. Front wheel tire still look almost new :) Before City Grip, I had Pirelli Diablo. They are good on sunny hot days, but shit tires on cold weather and rain.

[@calgary2800]

I had the Diablo and now Angel Scooter. The Angel is much better in the rain no comparision. The Diablo howevee have much more road feedback but less comfort.

I used the maxxis off-road tyres on aprilia sr 172 for a while and wow they can take some stick. Good fun!

[@caoimhin7122]

Good info. Could you update this for 2023? I know Michelin has the City Grip 2 now. And I'm sure there are new models from other manufacturers out there. I'd love to hear about new options for replacing the factory Mitas tires that came on my Vespa Primavera 150. Thanks! (By the way, roads covered in maple syrup, that's hilarious!)

[@AdventureByJake]

I was hoping for the same! I’m running Pirelli Angels on my 125cc Sprint. It looks like City Grip 2 and the Pirelli Angel are very very close in performance (direct competitors). Angels slightly better in the wet, City grip 2 has slightly better longevity. I’m at 4600 miles on Pirelli Angels and the rear should last until the 6000 mile service. There’s also Pirelli Diablo and the Michelin Power Pure as the sports versions from Pirelli and Michelin. Again, very evenly matched from what I’ve read, but both sacrifice a lot of their wet weather performance for dry weather grip. As I’m in England and ride all year round, I think I’m going to stick with the Pirelli Angels. What tyres are you running?

[@caoimhin7122]

@@AdventureByJake I'm still on the Mitas MC16 (?) tires that came with the bike.

[@ihdandia]

@@AdventureByJake Where did you see Angels better than City 2 in wet? Michelin posts on their site that theirs beats Angels in wet braking and wet track time, but doesn't mention dry, so assume this means Angels beat City 2s in dry in both braking and time.

perelli sl26 i found are excellent, when i had a heavily modded bws 70 i ran the boppers first which handled great but didnt last too long. sl26 i found were great in the rain, in the dry not as good as the bopper but lasted way longer. the reggaes were junk, noticed they disconnitued now from such suppliers as motovan and thibault.

City grip is no go... Oriented just for mileage, hard, with low grip. Much better tires are Pirelli Diablo, Dunlop Scootsmart, Metzeler Feelfree... and if you need smaller size, Bridgestone ML 50 or BT 30 are no brainer.. the best rubber you can buy .. Cheers!

[@FortNine]

Hey Daniel! Out of the options you listed, I'd choose either the Pirelli Diablo or Metzeler FeelFree. They're both stellar tires. The Pirelli will be stickier and shorter lived. The Metzeler is better in the rain and lasts longer. Cheers! ~RyanF9

I have the Diablos on my 600 silverwing. i got 12,000 or so miles out of the rear. I'm going to need to change the front this year and I'm over 16,000 miles on it. I do get a little sliding in the rear in harder cornering riding solo but oddly not when riding 2-up. My local bike shop recommended the $110 Diablo over the $180 Bridgestone they had in stock. IDK what style the Bridgestone was though.

[@mikehallgti]

Love all the vids you put out man. Great content. Curious what's the fattest performance tire for a 14in rim? Looking at either a 14x10 or x8. Want performance and not a crazy tall profile but I don't want to sacrifice performance and reliability.

It is a real shame the Michelin City Grip don't go down to a 110/70R12 - stops them being used on some front wheels.

[@voqzmk2]

Pirelli Diablo or Michelin City Grip, Which one is the best and why? Edit : Or Michelin Power Pure SC?

[@AdventureByJake]

Very old comment, but just in case anyone is reading this. Pirelli Angel and City Grip 2 are direct competitors, very close in performance and year round tyres. Pirelli Diablo and Power Pure are also direct competitors, dry weather super grippy tyres but worse in the wet.

[@Herower]

I had the street pilot on my old scooter (Xmax 125) and man these tired DO NOT DIE! I had them for over 3 years and lasted almost 40K KM!! They were great. I could hold another few months, but they've felt slippery at the end. I'm about to get Tmax 530 or a BMW C600. I care about mileage more than 'sportiness' since I just ride long distances, what tires would you suggest for me to buy, that would hold something like 30k km? Thanks!

[@FortNine]

30k is asking a lot! Check out Heidenau - their touring tires typically wear like iron. I think the K66 might be a good fit for larger displacement scooters? ~RyanF9

[@Herower]

Yeay, You've replied my comment! :] I'll look into these tiers, thanks a lot man, LOVE your videos.

[@redneckwithajeep5001]

For those scooter riders that have 10 inch wheels but want to go off road. A look on google finds off road tires all day long for them though they are meant for a CT70 Honda but hey the speeds aren’t that different and actually a little slower if you’re riding a 50cc

[@paulb2769]

Hi Ryan. Time to replace the rear tire (Kenda ) on my 2020 Zuma that lasted 4K miles. Would the City grip last considerably longer to warrant twice the price of the Kenda? It's not easy removing the rear wheel so I would like the new tire to last as long as possible! Thanks Paul

[@alessio4936]

Lovin your reviews buddy! I live in DR(not Suzuki lol), i'm gonna buy a Loncin bws replica, 175cc, and I'd like to put maxxis knob tires, 130/60 r13, or shinko 805/705. My dream is a 250 loncin SX, but i m not sure that will be practical as a daily rider. Here there is sand, muddy roads, it rains a lot. Maxxis or shinko? I don' t care about mileage.greetings from Punta Cana!

[@mauriciohzamora4105]

Thank you for the video. If I really needed to go on dirt roads on a Vespa GTS 300 for long distance (say 400 km), which tires would you recommend? And that means that I would still have to ride about 800 km on roads + 300 km on highways, so it is a very mixed trip for the same tires

[@papamauryc2300]

I know I'm late to this video, but I have a question. So I drive a Peugeot speedfight 3 and I want to know what are some good tires for some offloading. I'm a bit bored in quarantine and I want to keep myself entertained in this pandemic. My neighbor just got a ATV and we waned to go offroading togheter. If you ever see this and possibly replay.

Yamaha really pushes their automatics as performance bikes it seems lol My SMAX came with the Power Pure I believe, on the front, and the Purelli Diablo on the back. The XMAX comes with the Scootsmart tires (seems to be the same on both wheels), which seems to be rated by some people as really good. :) No need to change tires luckily. But I love to hear about automatics, it just isnt heard about much at all in the west despite it not being so small of a group of riders.

I run Power Pure's on both my scooters (Burgman & Kymco Like), no issues on either. Sounds like you have bad valve cores. Did you spray soap IN the core and see if they bubble? Get a tool and replace them. Only about $5 for a tool and lifetime of cores.

[@cyangtw]

+ScooterDano I went to a different workshop and they sprayed the soap on the tire bead and rim,lots bubbles showing immediately,so they sanded the edge of the rim a little bit before swapping the new tire set and problem solved.Since I was never get used to the slippy feelings of Power Pure,so I also changed both of my front & rear tires to Pirelli Diablo Scooter,feels awesome.The valve cores didn't have any issue,but I still changed,just in case.
