Thoughts and experience with scooter tires

[john grinsel]

My 2019 Xtown 300i ABS now has 3,000 miles. I am happy with performance of the OEM Kenda tires.
Rear should last 5-7000 miles, but like almost all motorcycle/scooter tires rears tend to wear square---affecting handling to a degree.

Based on over 400,000 miles of maxi scooter riding---doing tire work myself, always using "Ride On" as balancing medium....don't like square tires on rear.  REPLACEMENT for me will be Michelin Power Pure SC in correct size, my experience with them=they wear round!And seem to last long time on scooter rear---got 11,000 miles with Burgman 400, forgot how much with SilverWing 600, but I was happy with their performance.   I don't know if there is anything better on market at this time. Thoughts?

Good to know, John, about PP SC tires! I was hoping they would last longer and that's why I put 'em on the DT300i.

I haven't used the Power Pure tires. I used City Grips on both wheels on my Like and on the rear on my SMAX. Michelin doesn't make the City Grip in stock sizes for the front tire on the SMAX. I may go with a PP for the next front tire replacement.

I got 9500 (2k of which was close to max load) out of my X400i’s stock tires, though it was a bit boxed.
Use city grips on rear now, stock front still.
Really good tire
