Try to not ride during the first 10 to 15 minutes of rain fall. The initial water mixes with accumulated dirt and oil on the road and forms a very dangerous slick layer. After raining a short bit most of it is washed to side of road or down storm drains.


This I know - I just wanted to know brands to look for that are excellent for wet oil slick terrain  - in case it does happen - these are the type of tires I chose to use on my 8 cyln Jeep Grand Cherokee - for the exact same reason - when it down pours here. It gets slick!

Thank you for the input on any and all types of tires - links would be great if anyone has some!

When it comes to brand of tires - do you think location has much to do with it? I know that I consider that with my 4 wheeled vehicles. I'm new to scooting, so please excuse any faux pas I may make in the beginning.

I live in North Miami Beach area and when it rains here - it gets slick quick.

I recently purchased a used 2006 People 150 - I love it, but have been checking the weather report before riding too far away from home. I know that it will need tires soon. I checked inflation - read on these forums and adjusted accordingly and it has made a BIG difference in handling.

Also, how difficult is it to change at least the front tire? The rear tire I can see the advantage of having a mechanic do it.

Thanks!
