Title: Michelin "CITY GRIP WINTER" tires!
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on January 08, 2020, 04:29:50 PM

New to me - but guess they've been around for a few years in Europe.
Not sure if these are available in the USA.
Wonder how they do in non-winter conditions?

As much as I like my regular City Grips - think I might try the new Angle tire from Pirelli when time to replace the Maxxis on my big-wheel Liberty150i.

Winter Tires have been mandatory in in at least in Germany for several years---for bikes.  Good idea for those who ride all year.Probably work ok in summer on lower powered scooters.   Speed rating of tires important to check.

Looks to be a Road Race Rain Tire. Likely soft compound which will wear fast in dry conditions
