A scooter tire for Modern Vespas and scooters from 125 cc. The first generation of the legendary MICHELIN City Grip series.
If well-known manufacturers such as Yamaha (X-MAX), Piaggio (Vespa GTS, Primavera) or Honda (PCX 125, SH 125) have used the MICHELIN City Grip for so many years, it must be a special kind of scooter tire.
First ever tirewith PST
Original equipment manufacturer of well-known brands
Time-proven, all-season tire
The MICHELIN City Grip is an all-weather, all-season tirewhich is just as comfortable on wet road surfaces and cobblestones as it is on smooth town and country roads. The traction, safety, durability and control of the MICHELIN City Grip is thanks to an innovation by the French manufacturer: PST. What is PST, though?
PST for the City Grip
With its City Grip series in 2010, MICHELIN developed its first-ever scooter tireusing so-called Progressive Sipe Technology (PST): Continuous, patented sipes effectively break up the surface of the water film, regardless of how worn the tread is. And with the increased number of active sipes on the tire shoulders, safe cornering is a breeze.
The critics at “Scooter & Sport” magazine praised the tire’s exceptional traction, precise handling, good directional stability, braking stability and high comfort on cobblestones.
Please note: Unless stated otherwise, scooter tire can be used as either front or rear tire.
