They just aren't in the tire budget, I already have 3 pairs of tires for the ruck. The safety gear budget how ever I might be able to wrap my mind around that. I was thinking about just ordering a front and using koldcutter ice screws in the rear innova but no I want front and back: all though I would probably get two 130's.

End and home keys don't scroll though, so once you're at the end, you still have to scroll back up to what you want to read.
I just did a little test, and I can scroll through this in under 3 minutes

Well, I finally decided to splurge on some new tires after comparing my back tire to my brothers (mine's pretty much bald in the middle). I went for the Pirelli SL60s. Cost a pretty penny, but hopefully I'll like them. I'll give some more info when I get them, and put 'em on.

So I installed a set of Michelin Boppers. I was hoping for an increase in top speed and/or quicker acceleration.
The acceleration seems slower to me than my stock tires Top speed is down about 1-2mph (38-39mph)compare to stock (40mph)
Do these tires need to time to wear in? If so, will I get my top speed back of 40mph or greater?
The tires do seem quieter compared to the stock tires and the turning is going to get some getting use to.
I got about 15417km on my stock tires. The front had lots of thread left while the back I think could have got another 1000-2000km

Woo, got my tires, today.
Now, just need to get them on the scooter. We'll see how long that takes me.
