Title: 10, 000+ time to replace LIKE's Michelins
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on September 22, 2016, 10:41:19 AM

My City Grips have passed 10, 000 miles and are in their fourth year.
The front, as I've said - looks like it will last until the Rapture. But at least the rear needs replacing soon.
I no longer need to commute in all weathers....so down-pours and light snows are no longer a concern.
Looking at a new pair of Feel Frees, Power Pures or just a new rear City Grip.
What say you folks for grip, comfort and mileage?

I'd go with another City Grip.

I'd get the Michelin with the two-compound tread, Power Pure SC?

I you like the ride characteristics of the CG stick with those. I'm finding them to be real good tires for my scooter. While I don't think I'll get the same wear as I did from the Kendas I certainly find them to be much more stable on slick roads and taking on twisties.

Wow! 10k out of a tire! You must ride lightly for your size Stig. BTW one of my favorite bumper sticker reads "In case of rapture this car will momentarily swerve while my mother-in-law takes the wheel."

Karl has what I have on rear Power Purse SC AWESOME in corners just put it on last week tons of grip and confidence in the LEAN.

Ha ha ha ha!!!  ;D ;D ;D
Of course, the real question is WHY would you even have the mother-in-law riding with you in the first place?  ???
