City Grip II for LIKE200i arrived
« on: April 01, 2023, 03:38:24 PM »
48 hrs after ordering the tire was at my door. in a big box.



I had some questions not answered in the ad..."was it reinforced" . a true "front/rear mounting"?
Yes, and "FRONT & REAR " arrows both found on the tire.


How old is it?
manufactured nearly last week of December 2022 (51st week, 22 year)


Presently studying all the steps for the wheel removal - (it's been several years) then decide who will mount it.
Sure wish the LIKE had the Liberty's slip-off exhaust, and a less troublesome fender hugger!
Will renew the brake with new pads.

PS: although it's humorously marked "M & S" (mud & snow) it is not marked with a snowflake - so not a true winter tire - this tire is likely to never see either , if I can help it!
NOTE - if ordering do not specify "REAR" when looking for this size - it will show none are available .
But if you click "front/rear" - this size will pop up! (for months I looked the wrong way!)

I wonder if my dealer parts counterman made the same mistake?

you got a new tire there. Reading the DOT it states that it was manufactured on May 1st 2022. Did you ever decide if you were going to install them yourself stig?

Well, no...."51" means it was made the 51st week (in December)....of "22" (2022)
So, very new indeed🙂
