Being the zuma newB I am, When purchasing new tires such as the S1, what size would you recomend? What looks cooler? Why did you choose that tire size and how does it run? mainly looking for informative and opinionated feedback!!!! :c:

There is little choice in tyre sizes, or in manufacturers, for that matter.

The sizes were set by the mfr. for safe handling...they just happen to be the biggest available in that range.

I went with a Pirelli SL-26 for my Zuma...a great tyre at a good price.

I just installed a set of Michelin Pilot SC's on my Triton but they are an amazing tire. Cant compare them to stock Zuma tires but they are much better than the stock Vento tires.

kinda a pointless statement as they dont make pilots in 10". But we are happy they aer on your triton. No so thrilled that its not that fast :)

Sure wish Str8dum would get that thing past 40mph. Bridgestone ML50's are seriously nice tires. They're expensive, though, and don't wear very well. I like mine so much I'm not inclined to switch.

the S1 tires WILL NOT work on a zuma!

you need to get 120/90-10 Front and 130/90-10 for the rear...

You can use 130/90-10 on both or 120/90-10 on both... there isn't much difference in size, but just so you know...

One is a on road and one is more off road... Either way, the price is fair as it's normally $30-45 for this size tire...
