Title: Michelin City Grip & Pirelli Angel tires
Post by: Stig / Major Tom on February 22, 2025, 11:38:51 PM

My LIKE200I has 12" tires.
At 460 miles the Kendas were replaced with a set of Michelin City Grips. 
The C.G. rear tire lasted 12,000 miles and was replaced with a Michelin Power Pure.

The Power Pure was holed, plugged and replaced after 8,000 miles with a City Grip II.

The front City Grip lasted16,000 miles and I  replaced it with another Michelin City Grip (C.G.II tires not yet avail.)

The 16" & 14" Maxxis on my Piaggio Liberty150i ABS were replaced after 7,200 miles with a set of Pirelli Angels.

I've ridden many miles in the rain with both the Michelin C.G's and the Angels, and I like them both.

    Glad to hear that, Stig. I'm putting new City Grip 2's on my People S 150 when it gets inspected in May.

Interesting how much different mileage you’ve gotten than I have.
Granted I’m on a different scooter (cali classic 200), but the ergonomics can’t be that different

Also different tires, but even so.
29,000 on the front (Duro), but just under 9,000 on the rear (Heidenau k80), and 5,400 on a Power pure, and before that 6,000 on a Duro.   FWIW, I’m 150 lbs, and ride a little faster at 45 mph most of the time.
