I just swapped the tyres round front to back. The tyre on the front is now quite square and seems hard rubber, the make is Yokohama. The scoot handles like a pig, stiff and wondering/weaving at the front a bit like a Vespa. I'm going to put on another tyre but it got me wondering about tyre pressures etc and how they could be set better. I always think the Innocenti tyre pressure recommendations seemed too low for us beer drinking, heavy Northern Europeans. :?
