1. Where made?

2. Will you cut off the hair or is that what makes them stick?

They're made in Serbia.

The "hairs" are moisture sensors. :D

I had some S83's made in Serbia that were just as hairy.

Spent hours cutting them off the front tyre with nail scissors but got fed up so ran the engine on the jack and used emery cloth on the back one.

If I had known that they were moisture sensors I would have left them on.

Not on a Lambretta that I know of Paul, only someone with a maxi scooter, presumably a bigger diameter.
We've got similar on the wife's Maicoletta 400 and they seem pretty good TBH,

i think that:

You want the latest in car-tyre technology for your scooter? MICHELIN can deliver in the form of the CITY GRIP WINTER tyres! The fine incisions comprising the lamellan technology extend as deep as the rest of the normal tread pattern of these tyres, which has a negative tread profile of 35%, optimised for improved grip in wet and wintry conditions.
If, for any reason, you wish to ride your scooter in Germany in wintertime, there has been a new law introduced that makes the use of tyres designed for winter conditions mandatory. If you are caught with 'summer' tyres in subzero conditions you will be facing high fines and no insurance cover in case of an accident. From now on all vehicles must have winter tyres in wintery conditions, including motorbikes and scooters. Due to the high demand for winter tyres at the moment deliveries may be delayed slightly. Please check if we have your tyre size in stock while ordering.


good alternative to block tread too.
