The best MICHELIN scooter tyres for avoiding skids in the rain and on manhole covers, thanks to their MICHELIN Progressive Sipe Technology (PST).
High-end scooter tyres
These MICHELIN tyres can be found on the most prestigious scooter models: Piaggio MP3, Yamaha X-max, Honda PCX, Vespa GTS…
A wide range of sizes
The MICHELIN City Grip range can be used for most 125cc scooters and even large-wheeled scooters, so you can be sure to find the right one for your scooter.
I am an older man (68) but still really enjoy riding my 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super. At my age, I ride very conservatively. The City Grip is very pleasant in all the situations that I have encountered, from about 45 degrees F to 95 degrees F, very dry to slightly wet. I have never felt that the tires have been a problem, or a compromise to my safety. The only thing I have noticed is a tendency to "weave" slightly when braking hard at high speeds. This does not seem to have negatively affected the stability or stopping times. I must say that the City Grips have provided the smoothest, quietest ride of any tires I have ever used. The tire mileage is exceptional.

Using this tyre all year round, even in winter. Is slightly slippery at cold mornings (when road is wet and temp. is about 1-4C. But handling is acceptable even with a bit of snow on road. One bad thing. Because at my scooter this tyre is only 13", i've got lot of problems with punctures. Lost 3 tyres in 2 years... But, just replaced to 2nd generation, still with Michelin and hopefully new compound will be more puncture proof (or is my bad luck?) If You consider to buy, think twice, 2nd gen has "shark tooth" lamels, so should be more grippy.

hi there, on my Kymco People S 200i, I got this tyres (1600 miles done on it) which I did put under big stress just last Sunday, and itself it is a challenge because in south Italy, where the test had place, 'health' of roads is very defective with very dangerous holes despite beautiful surrounding, anyway started from base I run 200 miles going towards the height of 380 miles on the level of sea, in half dry and half wet conditions, with temperature around 5°celsius, and from the upper going to the coast up to 12° celsius, saw the sea and gone back to base; well, I can honestly say that during all the ride I had always positive feedbacks with just little slippery in the back tyre exiting in acceleration from turning (I think because the shoulder is not so large as other brand's tyre I did see). All the rest is very good, let's say that togheter other a couple of brand I believe are the best tyres for your scooter rides
