Got a call from dealership yesterday,My correct rear tire had arrived. They installed and balanced it and it feels alot better on the road now.Better braking and tighter cornering. Now the qwest for more speed begins.Alot of info on this forum so I got to read,read,read and take notes.Thanks everyone for the advice! ;D

Update...Called Dunlop rep, He said front tire on back is a big no-no. It changes brakeing capabilites in a bad way. also like zombie said cornering will be less stable. So I went back to dealership and said "Dude you sold me a front tire for the rear of my scoot" They apologized many times and ordered me the correct tire direct from Kymco.

Thanks for the response. I checked the load ratings,The front is 480lbs the new rear is 520lbs.The tred pattern does look like it will be fine. The pattern goes a bit higher on the side walls than a standard rear tire pattern. I'm going to run it like it is. I will report back from home or the hospital if I have any problems ;D. Just a heads up...My front tire size is a 120/70-14 not the 100/80-14 that my manual says it has.I did by it new(Helped the dealer uncrate it).Thanks again.

I have a super 8 50 2t and had a flat on the rear tire. Could'nt repair it so went to dealer purchased the standerd size tire for the rear. When I was putting it on I noticed it said "front use only". Does it matter?
