new set of tyres needed

Post by tallpaul »

I had my xmax into a local bike mechanic as it wasn't starting. I'd charged the battery and checked the plug with no joy.. anyway he sorted it for me, but he pointed out my tyres were shot...and illegal :oops: , I read posts on tyres recommending city pilots..can I get them for my 14 & 15 inch wheels, or are there any you could recommend... Or avoid..I'd appreciate any replies..

That's pretty good then.
I've ordered a pair of City Grips for my PCX for the whopping price of £66 from Oponeo and am hoping to fit them using this method.
