I'd rather have an Angel beneath me, than a devil.
How about a set of these new, dual compound, Angel Scooter tires from Pirelli?!

Or, a nice set of Michelin City Grips - great in the wet and long wearing.

What would be a longer lasting tires?  How many miles would they last you?  What about front tires?

Owner's have their favorites.
Mileage from a tire also depends on the scooter, roads, speed  and the rider.
Michelin City Grips lasted me over 10,000 miles.
Rears wear quicker than fronts.

Hmm having trouble finding a city grip rear tire, ie 140/70-12.  Did you use a different size?
