If they do them in your sizes George, you may want to try Michelin Powerpures which get a good write up.  I plan to try them on my X-Town 300i in the autumn (fall).

Another tyre I really rated on a lighter machine (Honda PCX125) was the Michelin City Grip or City Grip 2.  See https://www.michelin.com.my/motorbike/browse-tyres/by-vehicle/kymco/xciting-400i/xciting-400i/2019

Be interested to read your thoughts on the 400 as it's on my short list for the next scooter!

City Grips on my 12" LIKE rims lasted @14,000 miles -both ends - would love to find City Grip 2's for the next change..... when my kids do 'em.
