Excellent Buy
Tire arrived as scheduled. Easy to mount (first tire swap I've done), and the ride is a definite improvement over the factory rubber. Not much mileage, but the wear seems okay so far. Highly recommended. Installation note: Michelin's don't have a balance mark -- they claim balanced from the factory, so I just put it on. No handling/vibration problems. Good tire, good manufacturer.

Very impressed
I must say that I am entirely satisfied with the purchase experience and the tires. I checked 5 for the durability even though I have only had the tires for around one month. They appear to be wearing just fine.

SMOOTH riding tire
I currently only have about 500 miles on the tires, but noticed a BIG improvement in ride immediately. I rarely get airborne from the seat, where my stock tires felt like I was on a roller coaster, coming out of the seat on every bump.
Seem to be wearing well; a couple thousand more miles will tell.

Nice smooth riding tire
Very nice smooth riding tire. My scooter rides better than it did with the original tire. However I would like to be able to purchase the reinforced 62p Michelin - Pilot City Urban Sport version of this tire from you guys.

Versatile Pilot City
I use this tire primarily on city streets with some highway miles. The traction on dry pavement is as good as any tire I have tried. I expect to get 2500-3000 miles out of the tire, which is pretty typical for a small scooter tire and 200 pound rider. I would love to get more mileage but do not want to sacrifice grip. Compared to the Pirelli that this replaced there are 2 ways the Pilot City excels: -->Wet traction is considerably more reassuring. -->General ride is more forgiving and it tracks mush straighter on cantered or sloped surfaces. This tire keeps rolling straight.

As good or better than the pirelli at half the cost will buy again, also bought Michelin pilot tires on my goldwing, no more wobble, feels more stable on dry and wet pavement. Motorcycle Superstore has the best price fast shipping, and very good people to do business with.

Great Tire - Great Price
This is my second set of these tires. The ride is very smooth, the grip is incredible, and the price is the best I've found. The tires arrived within a week and I was able to get them mounted quickly. I'll buy them again when it comes time to replace.

michelin pilot city urban scooter tire
I purchased 120/70-12 front and 130-70/12 rear to replace the 4.00-12 cheapo tires on my Chinese Tank 150cc touring scooter and all I can say is WOW what a difference. Even though the Michelins are a lower profile than the fat oem tires, they have more thread and less side wall and the scooter stops on a dime with no squirreling or hunting now and it tracks like a panther. Rain is no longer a danger and when I brake.... I BRAKE! I might have gone a size up but was concerned with wheel clearance (unduly) now the scooter sits lower and I don’t have enough lean to use the side stand. with the marked improvement in performance I can live with using the center stand only but if you are considering this change have a pro measure your wheel area for clearance and go a tad bigger. Once again superstore techs converted tire size in seconds and the tires arrived in 3 days. This is my 6th purchase from them and I have had nothing but 100% satisfaction

What a difference!
Who knew changing tires could make such a HUGE difference? After my fourth set of tires in just over two years (The worst luck imaginable) I’ve found what seems to be a MIRACLE CURE for my GT200L (actually I never knew it was ill). Liking the Michelins I decided to go with the PILOT CITY. OH, WHAT A DIFFERENCE! It’s as if I’m riding a completely different scooter.

Scooter Tires
Ordering from Motorcycle Superstore saved me money. I only get about 3200 miles on the rear tire of my scooter and my first replacement at the dealer cost me over $200. After that day, I knew I had to seek other options if this was going to be a recurrent event. Buying my tires from you, cut that cost more than half. I had been informed of other web sites I could have purchased my tires from but yours was the most cost effective, and free shipping was the icing on the cake. Looking forward to doing business with Motorcycle Superstore.

I was very happy to see the tire was a quality tire. The price was great and I saved a lot of money compared to what the dealership wanted to charge me. I will definitely order from superstore again.

Great tire for a 2006 Vespa 250ie
Installed these tires to replace the Pilot Sport model. Went up one size F/R from 120/130 to 130/140 and the scooter rides and handles much better. Looks better too. Round profile makes cornering very predictable and they handle wet roads very well. Also, pretty much solved the "head shake" problem most of these scooters have. Can't rate the tire for mileage yet; only 1,000 miles so far. Make sure you get the right F/R combo if you upsize; 62P & 60P.

Best tire ever
The first time out on these tires, I got caught in a major torrential downpour, and had no moments where I felt my traction was in jeopardy. Braking is improved, cornering is improved, and wet weather traction is impeccable. Yes, I do only get about 4k miles out of a rear, but I have yet to find a scooter tire that lasts any longer whose performance is even close to this tire. I value traction over longevity. I have installed hundreds of these tires on my customers' bikes, and they all return with glowing reviews.

Tire is garbage
This tire is poor quality. The tread depth was shallow, and it wore out fast (less than 5k miles) on a Honda Big Ruckus. I would not buy this tire again.

Pilot City Scooter Tire
Just mounted and did a test ride of about 50 miles. No additional balancing was done - tire rides smooth and appears to grip the road well. My riding is on smooth paved roads with many curves and hills. I'm very happy with tire for now. Will be happier if mileage wear is better than previous tire. The scooter had 12,221 miles at time of mounting. This is my 3rd tire on the rear.
