Hi All, would like some advise. How many miles can I get on these tires? I only got about 4k miles on mine, is that normal? what is recommended and can I buy a better tire that last longer and performance better?
My scooter uses a 3.50-10 white wall, but it does not have to be...
Thank you

The Kenda brand is good. Michelin is good. 4K is probably less than average, I would say. Scrappydog sells a pretty good tire, I would imagine. I'll find you a link, hold on: Here you go. www.scrappydogscooters.com/COMMON_PARTS.htmlOr, just go on ebay, and search for scooter tires, and get a whitewall of a name you recognize. Kenda, Michelin, Pirelli, etc. Good luck, Steve |

Just purchased some Pirelli SL26 tires for my 150cc scoot, will let you know what they feel like compared to the Kendas that are on it now. They will be on after the holiday weekend. Also mine are both the same size 130/60-13. They are reinforced so the speed rating is way higher than others, although I am never going to get 92 mph on this thing!

Hope to have them on by next week.... 13" Kenda wheels with the "sport" tread pattern look good on mine and have around 5000K on them and are about halfway done. Proper pressure is a must on these things to ensure proper life. Check mine every fuel-up. |

If your scooter is real torque-y, the back tire will go pretty quick. My Yamaha 2T goes through tires that quick. It doesn't matter if they are Michelin. If your scooter does not have good low end power, that is bad. I do believe Shinko is about like Naidun. Somebody can correct me, and please do, but I would say the next step up would be Kenda. Then, Pirelli, Michelin, etc. You can tell by the price. You get what you pay for. Does your scoot have really good power from 0-15mph? |

That power is a good, and bad thing. Unfortunately, you will be wearing out rear tires, like my Zuma does. Just get a tire with the most rubber touching the road as possible, The more grooves, the faster it will wear out. My Zuma came with something that looked like a knobby off road tire, and it lasted about 1500 miles. I just looked on that ebay page, and there is only 1 that looks like it won't wear out really quickly, and it isn't your size. You need a tread pattern like this(hope I can get the image to post, LOL).  |

One with tread patterns like this will wear out really quickly again.  |

The one I posted that would be good for you is actually a Naidun. That appears to be a pretty good tire.
You also have sellers selling that exact same tire from $42, up to over $80. ?
