Buddy Tire Recommendation

Anyone tried Kenda K6022 Kozmik on their Buddy? I have a 2009 Buddy 125 and thinking about picking up a set 3.50 -10 for both front/rear?
Just trying to replace the aging and freckled tires.

I've head a lot of folks putting 130/70 on the rear, but some brands rub while others do not? Which ones do not and are they available? Lot of 130/70 tires I looked at is out of stock.

Appreciate the feedback!

A friend in Phoenix is running Kozmiks on his '08 St. Tropez. It's a fine tire for cruising, but it's not recommended for spirited riding on twisty roads.

I'm running Pirelli Angels (100/90-10) on my Pamplona and CST C-6017 whitewalls (90/90-10) on my St. Tropez. Amusingly, the whitewalls have a sport tread and have a "P" speed rating.

Michelin now offers a Pilot Street 2 in 100/90-10. I may try those on a scoot soon; I wish I'd seen those when I was putting tires on the Pamplona.

Pirelli Angels in either 3.50x10 or 100/90-10, buy the one that is cheaper. My favorite tire so far and the price isn't too bad.

I was not a fan of the 130/70-10. I tried two different tires and wasn't really impressed.
