  I've had good luck with the tire slime,been running a small tractor on it for years now. It does accasionally go flat refill drive around and re-seals.

with that i would try a patch if gotten bigger, slime or fix a flat dont hold as good unless pin hole size......drive by a scooter shop, may be sum wore out ones laying around better than yours..(some here toss outside when changed).

hay ya thats a good idea thanks. maybe ill do that drive by some scooter shopes.

..you can always plug the holes with a plug kit..

..i had three plugs in that old Kenda tire...

Ahh 'slinger, you tease me, we dont seem to have them around here, I bought a Continental twist for $75, a bridgestone was over $100.

...sid, i LOVE these tyres...

..these are, relatively speaking, the best tires i've ever bought for ANY type of vehicle...


..there's a LOT of rubber in the center-line of this tire...reduces wear, aannnd, as you begin to corner, the tread frequency increases, giving awesome grip in th' turns..

..i lay the guilty over pretty drastically from time to time, and have never felt the least bit of slip....

[sidthesloth]

Aww, there you go again, teasing me. Trying to order from over seas is too expensive. American companies don't seem to ship os, and from england it was 70 pounds, nearly $140, just for the shipping, tyre was 40pounds. Too expensive for me.

[wordslinger]

...wow....

 

[sidthesloth]

Wow, indeed. she runs fine on the conti~twist, just gotta get rid of that cheng~crap on the front.

[sidthesloth]

Hey blue, to get back on subject, plugs are good to get out of trouble, I had one hold for 12 months, but, if you want to go long distance, short of a new tyre, I would suggest patching the holes from the inside.

 Hey sid did you ever check SIP for shipping prices, just wondering,cause it was cheap to the states

[sidthesloth]

I haven't had a look yet, got too much money going elsewhere, none to spend on scoot....yet! :-)
