Another Couple of Stupid Questions....

Post by Drum Pro »

O.k. the book says 3.5-10 tires and the stock ones on my scoot are 100-90-10. What's the difference? How do the K61 tires compare to the Zippys for very hot/dry weather?(besides price) Any help would be great. Thanks...

The difference is a few millimeters. In practice, none, really.

The K61 is the best tire I've ridden on. A Zippy is a solid all around tire. I have them on my Stella. But for more demanding, faster, high performance riding, the K61 is tops. Sadly, the rears seem to not last very long in the Buddy size for some reason. On my LX, they last a VERY long time.
