Questions & Answers
The Front/Rear designation indicates that the tire can be used on either the front or rear of the bike, allowing you to buy two tires if your bike has this size on both the front and back. This is a great tire, though the front and back sizes on my bike are different.
On what type of rim is it? I used a 10x1 for it. It's a 40 pit bike rear rim that works great.
This will be a slightly smaller tire, so a 100-series tire might be a better option. Instead, you should use a 10 tire, which is a more accurate metric equivalent of your 3. 50 - 10 tire.
Selected User Reviews For Michelin S1 Urban Scooter Tire Front/Rear 90/90-10
My 2009 Metro had 3000 miles on it when I bought it, and the OEM tires were cracked all around the rim. I believe the scooter's tires were underinflated. I discovered a nail in the rear tire after 4700 miles and decided to replace both instead of repairing the hole. According to the wear bars, both had a lot of life left in them, but I wanted to be safe. The Michelins were well-reviewed and reasonably priced (I purchased two but only paid shipping on one). br>br>I removed the wheels myself (for more information, see urbanscootin. com). com and other message boards for assistance) and took them to a tire shop for the $10 tire replacement. I tried for a few minutes to break the beads loose so I could do it myself, but I quickly realized the job was worth paying $20 for. br>br>I can't say I notice much of a difference between these and the OEM tires, but the ride is smooth and the grip is good. They appear to be extremely attractive. I'm pleased with myself.
These were installed on my Honda Metropolitan CHF50, which was manufactured in 2002.
This is incredible. Since 2002, when I bought my first two Honda Metros, I've been a "scooter. " (They each lasted eleven and twelve years. ) Each has a distance of 42, 000 miles. Since then, every 5000 miles or so, I've been buying and replacing tires. Both OEM and Chinese knockoffs have been purchased by me. I've paid as little as 22 dollars for a tire and as much as 45 dollars for a tire. br> I just finished installing two of these tires. They're at least twice the weight and tread of OEM tires. Michelin tires are known for their high quality. It was difficult to get them on the rims, but they do fit well. They didn't need to "blast" the beads on once they were mounted. br> What surprised me the most was the speed with which the package arrived. I placed my order on October 22nd and received my tires on October 26th! This is without Amazon Prime. br> A friend of mine is so impressed with these tires that he's going to buy two to replace his OEM tires on his 2013 Metro. br> While the price is still good, I'm going to order two more as backups. (Shipping is less than $30. ) )br>br>I just finished reading my evaluation and I'm very happy with it. Here's a helpful tip for those of you who aren't used to changing tires: br> To break the bead, use or borrow a simple 6 in bench vise. Simply place the mounted tire in the vise, which has two jaws; make sure one jaw is against the rim and the other is just under the rim when squeezing with the vise. Then, until the bead breaks, crank the vise. Return to the vise, reverse the mounted tire to break the other bead, and repeat the process. You can simply pry the tire off with a few screwdrivers once both sides have been broken.
This is a fantastic tire that fits my Honda Metropolitan perfectly. With a few simple tools, you can make a quick and easy DIY change. My old one had to be in worse shape than I thought, because I increased my speed by 5 mph.
Well. That's because, dummy, you stuffed them full of air! 35 PSI is the maximum pressure rating. That's a good thing. Most bikes, however, require between 25 and 30 pounds of weight. Don't believe what the tire label says (especially if it's a GOOD tire), or your a _ _ will suffer!.
They are much more comfortable than the OEM IRC tires that came with my sister's Scooter, according to her. At $24. The price was significantly lower than any other online reseller, at $99 per tire. Highly recommended; I'll buy from them again if my sister needs new tires in the future. I was planning on ordering these tires directly from Motorcycle-Tires. com. Although these tires are available at Superstore, I discovered that they are also available on Amazon.
It was simple to set up and there were no issues.
