Put these on for a customer. I think they look great!

I love them. What brand did you install? I think Chen Shin were the only brand I could find in wide whites.

They are the next tire going on my "Vruk" 4t frame bike.

Nylon Bias ply I assume... What was your impression of them while mounting?

I recently bought a pair of some off brand nylon tires that were soooo slippery I could barely handle them. They did no better on the road either.
Just in your opinion... do you think they will last long enough to give them a try? maybe 3-4k miles?

they seem to be a decent tire. but the Likes do come with better tires than the agility's

4 ply rating

they mounted easy and took air with out using a ratchet strap.

they get fairly dirty when mounting so you'll have to spend 10 mins just cleaning them back up.

i would say they should last longer than 4k miles on a 50cc

I appreciate your input. I've been eyeballing a set for quite awhile.
After the last "cheepos" I bought, I really have nothing to lose. I'm starting to think like a "trophy collector". As long as they look good, who cares if they cook.

Looks nice! Are the tires hand mount-able with some levers? Haven't been around scooters long enough to change them yet :)

A set of 12" or longer levers will do any scooter tire. The trick is in keeping the beads in the center of the rim so you have more clearance in getting the opposite bead over the rim.

I've thought about getting these tires too, but the amount of dirt and junk that the white would pick up would have my OCD going and I really don't want to have to clean my tires every day. I already use spray wax several times a week to keep things shiny. 2 strokes are usually just a bit grungier than other scooters too.

I gave up on cleaning scooters. About once a year I'll hit them w/ Bleach, and forget them again.
