I'll ask this over here too. (Not everyone reads the general comments )
When these Kendas come off, what are the best rain tires for urban commutes??
(no interstate highway riding)
Please, some specific tire brand names and which specific tire of those brands?
Price is not an issue - just want to know I've got the best stuff under me..........
Thanks.

From my experience, and BY FAR the best, Michelin City Grip.

I'm gonna have to agree with Cortez on this one. The Michelin City Grip (http://www.amazon.com/s/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&hvadid=25580515290&hvdev=c&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvpone=&hvpos=1s2&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvrand=128561447563835304&index=aps&keywords=michelin%20city%20grip&linkCode=ur2&ref=pd_sl_10nrysxlsj_e&tag=rvou-20) is and outstanding tire.

Thank you - have also received two endorsements for the Heidenau K58 tire. (a scooter forum manager and a rider in Germany who scoots year around)

Haven't tried those.. but have done a year of all weather (snow included) riding on the City Grips and
I swear those things have the same amount of grip on hard braking on dry and wet roads, it's amazing!
They'll slide from side to side with less effort on wet compared to dry, but when it's time to drop the
anchor, it's amazing how much grip you can rely on.
Maybe even better then the Michelin Power Pure's that I had on the Downtown, but it's hard to
compare scoots with 60% difference in weight.
