On page 2 of the super 8 150 subsection there is a thread titled "oil change" where they say that the owners manual specifies 10w40 . Use your favorite brand . The motorcycle superstore usually has some good sales on tires . Good luck .

Front and rear tires don't have to be the same brand.  I have mixed tires on many bikes/scooters and never had a problem.

I use shell Rotella oil in all my bikes & scooters.  I recommend the 15w40 non synthetic until you have at least 1000 miles and then you can switch to the 5w40 full synthetic if you wish.

And don't waste your money on premium gas.

If you are determined to find a specific brand of tire google the brand name and then search for the size . Good luck .

Rear tires are 120/80-14, and are reasonably widely available. Fronts are 100/80-14 and are *impossible* to find (except from Kymco).

kymcopartsonline.com has the fronts for a hundred bucks and the rears for a hundred and four.
