While that was a good read Alley, none of the tires in the article are available in scooter size. All are for motorcycles.

I did look closely at the tires available from Motorcycle Superstore in my size.

Does this one seem to be the best choice for my needs?

It is a few dollars more. I want my body to stay off the road. I have high heat and wet conditions.

Thanks Alleyoop. That is a pretty good experience with the Shinko! A great endorsement.

Anyone else have any experience with any other brands?

Alley how is that Shinko in the heat and the rain? (I get 48 inches of rain each year and the pavement gets hot).

Does anyone have any experience with the various brands and models that worked and didn't work?

I will ride on paved surfaces almost exclusively, in a lot of heat and with a lot of rain. Given the amount of work involved in changing the rear tire I can see wanting to make it last a long time so you don't need to mess with it for a while. We trust our lives to the gripping power of these two small wheels a good grip is important. A smooth ride would be nice.

How would this tire be for my needs?

I watched the videos Alleyoop. Thanks. Looks "fun".

Cookees did you charge $40 to take the whole thing off the scooter, or just to change the rear tire when someone brought the rim in?

Yes I will. It will be a bit before I can get back on it. I need to connect the rear latch completely and turn the side latch around before pulling on in.

Hi Bob! Got any more good threads I should look at? I can just ask Alleyoop.

I agree. I still have to finish putting the new cable on the seat latch at the rear.

What I don't understand is where does the other cable go and what does it do?

Here are two more pictures, both of the side latch. The first is the old JCL latch. The second is the new one from Roketa. They are different. That doesn't mean that the new one won't work.

I still don't see where the second cable would go.
