Open to a bit of debate tyres are like oil but let's hear your experiences.
Time for some new tyres on the Lince, I've had SIP Performers on (made by Vee Rubber I believe) which I can't say I've been wholly impressed with.
I have ScootSmarts on the GP which I quite like but not put a lot of miles on them yet.
I'm thinking of something with a bit more 'tread' on like the Michelin City Grip or the Vee Rubber VRM351 or Manhattan. Anyone tried any of these?
Other options?

Michelin S1's are awful. Never known a tyre like it for tracking every line in the road. Avoid them like the plague. About the only thing you can say for them is that they last well.

I find this with the performers hence changing them.Doom Patrol wrote: ↑Sat Jun 08, 2019 12:51 pm Michelin S1's are awful. Never known a tyre like it for tracking every line in the road. Avoid them like the plague. About the only thing you can say for them is that they last well.

Had s1’s on the gp,dreadful on the white lines . Got conti’s on the gp lynx, much better
Heidenau K47 are a good all round tyre & they do them in a high speed rating.

I've had some MC20 Monsums on my coop. SIP seems to be marketing them as rain tyres now. They weren't when I got them.
They are excellent in the wet. If I remember right.. they're good in the dry, but do wear quickly. My rear one is about half worn out inside 800km.
