Scooter Tires and how often we should change them
« on: April 17, 2017, 08:11:31 PM »
Guys:

I came across this great blog about how often we should change our tires. For me, it is almost time to change mine. The writer states it is every five years. Even if your tires have a lot of tread left they should still be change. This makes sense. When I get to tires for my car at Discount Tire, they told me my spare was no good any more. Like everything else, tires have a limited shelf life. Enjoy this article.

They use 5 years for replacing helmets as well.

I was wondering about this. I know this will help all of us. At this time, my Kymco Agility 125cc is my only source of transportation to get around Vegas. I had no choice but to sell my 2005 Saturn Ion. Much of it was literally coming apart.
