I have to replace my rear tire. Anyone with opinions on these tires? What I'm most interested in is longevity. I just put around town, no great distance or speed. I like the looks of the Shinko because it just looks like more rubber than the Kenda. I know this topic is like asking what's the best oil, but I'm only interested in these two tires.

My Ice Bear Bear Zodiac's came with Kenda and been holding up real well I will keep them when needed right now 6,000 mile on them look great.

I realize the helix and clones seem to be hard on rear tires, but for scooters I will always look for a soft sticky tire and they are not know for long lives. A scooter riding the same course or road as a big wheeled bike and same speeds has to lean considerably further over. Because of the lean and fact my old bones Don't heal like a 15 year old I have been buying pirelli's and figuring it is cheap insurance for me.

Kenda it is. Seems to be the most popular, and just happens to be a the cheapest. Is the back wheel hard to get off? I doubt it, just thought I'd ask.
