Tires ?

[Bad*Brad]

New pipe been on all of 2 days - already scuffed it up cornering on a few different occasions. Wondering if the sava whitewalls and mich s1 have about the same height. Or, which one has better ground clearance? If im gonna get new tires I want somethin that looks different so i'm leaning towards the whitewalls ! !

I have the Savas and they add some hight to the scooter. I like it a lot more. Stock tires suck.

Strap on a bigger shock, and you'll have all the ground clearance u need! Along with the new rubbers that is...

[King Vino]

Um don't let MM hear about that shock fettish of yours Davey!

So sorry, but speaking of shocks... their back in stock!!!

The michelin's are going to be more aggressive than the sava's. The Sava's are hard for me to get a hold of, but other's may have them. The michelin's come with a 3.0x10 up front and a 3.5x10 in the rear for the most height that will fit in the rear. Whenever I have mounted a 3.5x10 up front I always have to space out the wheel. King Vino, you have 3.5's front and rear don't you? Did you have to do that?

The single best upgrade for your scooter's handling, IMO, is the michelin's. You will not even recognize your own scooter. Once I did it to mine, I was more confident in the turns and didn't have to worry about scraping anything. It just handled like it should, instead of like a toy.

I did space but didn't have to. The biggest issue with 3.5's up front for me is that under moderate to heavy braking when my front dives in, that the fender digs in to the tire, and get a rather louder rubbing sound.

thats not the sound I like to hear when stopping... Ugh... BAd enough when I first got my scooter that the front disk made a ticking when I stopped... Guess it was the drilled (vented) disk?!?

Gone now... Rubbing tires on a 2 wheel vehicle would drive me nuts...

[Davey-boi]

You gotta do what you gotta do when your lookin stylin. Can't wait to get my savas!

[King Vino]

I just modified my riding a little. I brake a little sooner and a little lighter. Within a week, I don't notice anymore. I never dive the tire anymore.
