ok this is the deal Im tight with cash so keep that in mide. My back tire has 3 or more small
nail holes one has got biger with rideing it and I batched ounce. should I go with green slime
or take tire off rim and batch from the in side. or should I just give up and wait tell I can get new tire.
looking for a fix that well last a while I was looking to take a long road trip but maybe not. thanks guys
tell me what I should do.
-
I've had good luck with the tire slime,been running a small tractor on it for years now. It does accasionally go flat refill drive around and re-seals.
-
with that i would try a patch if gotten bigger, slime or fix a flat dont hold as good unless pin hole size......drive by a scooter shop, may be sum wore out ones laying around better than yours..(some here toss outside when changed).
-
hay ya thats a good idea thanks. maybe ill do that drive by some scooter shopes.
-
..you can always plug the holes with a plug kit..
..i had three plugs in that old Kenda tire...
-
put the slime in seems to be holdeing air and picked up a plug kit just for safty if I have to do that.
and I guess ill have to safe up for a new tire found some I like on monsterscooterparts .com thans for the help guys.

Ahh 'slinger, you tease me, we dont seem to have them around here, I bought a Continental twist for $75, a bridgestone was over $100.
-
...sid, i LOVE these tyres...
..these are, relatively speaking, the best tires i've ever bought for ANY type of vehicle...
..there's a LOT of rubber in the center-line of this tire...reduces wear, aannnd, as you begin to corner, the tread frequency increases, giving awesome grip in th' turns..
..i lay the guilty over pretty drastically from time to time, and have never felt the least bit of slip....
-
Aww, there you go again, teasing me. ;) Trying to order from over seas is too expensive. American companies don't seem to ship os, and from england it was 70 pounds, nearly $140, just for the shipping, tyre was 40pounds. Too expensive for me.
-
...wow....
:o
-
Wow, indeed. she runs fine on the conti~twist, just gotta get rid of that cheng~crap on the front.
-
Hey blue, to get back on subject, plugs are good to get out of trouble, I had one hold for 12 months, but, if you want to go long distance, short of a new tyre, I would suggest patching the holes from the inside.
-
Hey sid did you ever check SIP for shipping prices, just wondering,cause it was cheap to the states
-
I haven't had a look yet, got too much money going elsewhere, none to spend on scoot....yet! :-)

;D
-
lol no I had theam on my honda ruckus when I had it so I like the way they handle.
they are realy good on wet roads and im in michigan and I ride in a little snow at times just short distance to work.
-
...i had a blast on my a50 in th' snow last winter...
..and yeah, i bet you could get around with those!!!
-
Im hopeing so. would you happen to know how much most the shiping cost would be on tires.
-
Free in the states from mcsuperstore on orders over $100 i think. Good store
-
..over 75 buck, i think...might be wrong...
-
no way im better off ordering from a scoot shope from here
-
You sure about that. http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/viewcart.aspx?A=1&Item=143339&Style=15133&DivisionGroup=5&Division=32&Department=405 (http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/viewcart.aspx?A=1&Item=143339&Style=15133&DivisionGroup=5&Division=32&Department=405)
-
to late already on order there going to be 37.00 dollars from a scoot shope here. takes 2 days for shiping.and thats free because I do busness threw theam. I guess it pays to give good service.
-
You sure about that
..yup..you're right...lol..i was thinking about scootertronics...
-
ok ill be puting new tire on soon but frist should I ride with old and wait closer to winter befor I put new on. I have had the old tire on when I frist got the scoot new in 03 has over 1500 klm on theam so I beleave it time for a change the front ill get later. whats your guys opinion should I finsh out the year with a tire filled with slim or put new on when it gets closer to winter,
-
..i gotta just say, do what you think is safe...
..the tires will not wear significantly between now and winter...
..especially not the viper strykes!!
-
put it on there. :D itll ride better, handle better, be safer in rain... ;)
-
1500 klm ???
-
ya 15 sorry about that
-
was 12 but now 15 how many miles is that in usa terms .
-
...lol..ok, 15,000 kms...not 1500...
..yeah, it's time for some new rubber...front and rear...
;)
..if not just to get rid of th cheng shins, and into some really GOOD tires!!
-

-

Just a few tech screws in the front tire and you can shred the frozen lakes ;D (short one's ;) )
-

-
