The Dark Side For those members running "Car Tires" on their scoots. This is for their discussion only and not a place for "non dark siders" to mouth off about their negative opinions of this idea!

I've never tried it, so I can't say how it handles.

To me, I want good handling and as long mileage as I can get, but I won't go for long mileage and hate the ride. If I can get 20K+ and a good ride, I'm a happy camper.

Michelin Alpin PA3 ZP makes me smile every day.
Thanks... I will give one of those two a try. It will be a little while before I get a new one and see how it rides. I appreciate all the help.

Some have got good miles with several brands".. Michelin seems popular choice, since it's such a good car tire on a car....Kumho Ecsta is another I have heard a lot.
