How to select a tire

So I looked on various sites for 3.5 x 10 tires.
There are many different tread patterns!

Any thoughts?

The following all make great tires. Heidenau. Michelin. Pirelli.

I am running Continental Zippy 1s and really like them. My son in CA runs Pirelli SL 26s on his 70cc Zuma and says they perform great. He is a hard rider has a 1000cc Monster, a GSXR 600 and races a Honda CRF 50 in M1GP.
I plan on switching to the Pirelli next set
That said you will get as many recommendations as there are responses
You wonâ€™t be disappointed with any of the major brands discussed so far.
It is always a trade off between wear and performance. I am always to pay the penalty of running softer stickier tires.

We use Continental Zippy 1s on our Buddy as well. A good scooter tire.

If you ride on a lot of concrete roads, tread really matters. Don't pick a tire with a straight center groove. Tires with that straight center groove really try to follow the seams in the concrete, making you scoot wander. My 2 cents.
