Monday blues... rear tire recommendations?

Post by Remous »

I was wiping down the scooter and noticed a nail pierced into the tire. I'd imagine I need a new rear tire now... any recommendations?

Going to stop by a tire shop and see I'll it's patch able

EDIT: Took it to the tire shop and it wasn't deep enough to puncture any holes to make it leak. Tire is good!

The OEM tires on the Buddy are nothing to write home about. We have been running the Continental Zippys for several years now. A definite step up.

You should search around the old threads here.

I ride on Michelin S1, and I tend to ride somewhat aggressive.

Another vote for Continental. Bought my Conti Zippys at 4WO|Truck parts &Motorcycle before. Handling is really good. Provides amazing dry and wet grip.

Have Zippy's. They're good.
Next time, Michelins. Put them on my daughter's Buddy and it rode much smoothererer.
