Best Tires for People 150?
« on: February 16, 2008, 01:17:42 AM »
I'm going to need tires soon and the variety for this scooter seems VERY limited. I don't care for the OEM's.
Any opinions?

Have you found any tires yet?  I just got a People 150 last week and I already picked up a construction staple in my rear tire.  It can't be patched due to the grooves on the inside of the tire.

I live in east central Florida and no dealer from Daytona to Orlando to Palm Beach has a rear tire in stock.

The only internet place I found that looks good is www.scooterworks.com out of Chicago.  They carry Sava tires in our size.

Anyone have tire experience to share?

I was going to get the Savas but, my mechanic told me that they sometimes rub (tiny bit too large) until they wear down a bit. A Kymco dealer told me they have a softer ride but the original tires are better in the rain. So, I went with the OEM tire.
Try Columbia Scooters. They're great with getting Kymco parts. http://www.columbiascooters.com/indexs.htm

The mechanic at my dealer wasn't too keen on the Savas either, so I went with the OEM Cheng Shins.

www.scooterwest.com lists an 80/80x16 "Cheng Shin or King", but they don't list 100/80x16.  I sent them an e-mail query asking if they have (or can get) the larger tire for our rear wheel.  I'll post when I get a reply.

ScooterWest replied to my e-mail and they say they have both sizes in stock.
