06' kymco
« on: July 29, 2009, 01:31:37 PM »
Picked up a 2006 kymco grand vista with 6000mi on it for $1000.  All it needed was a front turn signal lens cover.   Im not sure about the tires with that kind of mileage.  Is it time to get new tires or do I have some time. They look fine, still have some tread.

Thanks

I did 10 000 miles with the original maxis tires. Now I do about 4 000- 5 000 miles with michelin tires. If I were you I would change them for good tires like Michelin or pirrelli.

Their performance on a wet asphalt  is poor. I do prefer the michelin pilot city or pilot sport.
The performances of the pilot city are great but will last only  3 500 miles. The pilot sport (the one I have right now) will do about 5 or 6 000 (I did  3 000 miles already).
I was not feeling confident with the maxis.........(security first)
