I've heard they're Savas. (Blechh!)

They ARE Sava's which I am told will turn grey very shortly. I'm having Zippy 1's put on at prep.

Kinda like the whitewalls on the Stella, but haven't heard anything good (and a lot of bad) about Savas. I may see if I can get some Continental whitewalls put on. Heard anything one way or the other about them? I know they aren't a "performance" tread design.

I've never been happy with a stock tire on a scoot; always something better. Haven't decided which I'll put on the Stella. Probably Conti whitewalls or Heidenau K61s.
