Wow, over 300 bucks for a pair! But, you know, if they actually grip in the ice, that's not bad. 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.

I can press the end and home keys. 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.

Just replaced my stock original tires that were getting bad. Found a small finishing nail in the rear tire. Explains the slow leak I had. Replaced them with the Michelin Reggae's that I got from Motorcycle Superstore.com. Paid 29.99 for the front and 32.99 for the back. Also ordered a set of tire irons and the shipping was free. Got them in two days!! All went well on the tire change thanks to the threads explaining the process. Took me about an 1 1/2 hours to take the old off and replace with new. Back tire is a little thinner than the stock. Took them out for a test this afternoon. Handle very well on dry pavement and corner better. Much better than stock tires on snow. No speed loss or gain.

Nice. That looks like a good all around tire. I'm considering tossing on some Duro HF910's (the knobbies) this fall for winter riding but I'm a little concerned what they'll do to my top speed.

Hmm....I never thought of that. Ideally I'd like to pick up a second set of stock rims so I could swap my tires back and forth easily.

And those Duro are NOISEY on pavement I bet. I remember test driving a Bronco with mud tires on it, that thing was super noisy. Yeah, I might have lost half a mile an hour on my top speed, maybe, but I like my tires.
