tires, has been adapted and integrated to serve the needs of today’s scooter pilots with:
• Unparalleled side grip thanks to a softer tread compound on the tire shoulders
• Increased mileage thanks to a harder tread compound in the center of the tire
• Great performance and looks thanks to the Hypersport motorcycle tire inspired tread pattern

The size of the combined contact patches of a front
and rear scooter tire is equivalent to approximately two credit cards,
so looking after their quality and performance is crucial.
TIRE CHOICE AND USAGE
Always choose a tire which complies
with local road traffic legislation, and
always follow the recommendations
of the vehicle's manufacturer, the tire
manufacturer or appropriate official
bodies.
Seek professional guidance when fitting tires that do not conform with
your scooter's original tires.
Never use a tire that is incorrectly
inflated, at a speed which exceeds
its speed rating or with a load that
exceeds its load index.
Legislation does not permit the use
of slick tires, tires with 're-cut' tread
patterns or tires bearing the marking
'NHS' (Not for Highway Service) or
'FOR COMPETITION USE' on public
highways.
INSPECTION
Tires must be closely inspected at
regular intervals. Uneven wear may
be the result of incorrect inflation pressures, overloading or ill-suited mechanical adjustments.
Using an underinflated or overloaded
tire for a prolonged period of time
may lead to irreversible damage which
could have serious consequences, even
if that tire is subsequently inflated to
the correct pressure. Tires should be
examined regularly, paying particular attention to:
- the tread: look out for embedded
foreign bodies, cuts, localised damage
and uneven wear;
- the sidewalls: look out for impact
damage (kerbs, potholes, etc.), cuts,
cracking and abnormal deformation;
- the bead area (check for signs of
rubbing, or damage to the rim).
If in doubt, have the inside and exterior of your tire inspected by a specialist at the earliest opportunity.
WEAR
The principal function of the tread is
to ensure contact with the ground.
As a tire wears, its ability to clear
water diminishes, so it is important
to reduce your speed on wet roads.
Check your tires regularly for wear
by inspecting the tread band. Make
sure that wear is even.
Tire wear, and consequently the tire's
life expectancy, depends on seven
main factors, some of which are
within the rider's control, such as
inflation pressure, load carried, speed
and riding style (braking and acceleration).
Others are outside of the rider's
control – e.g. twisty roads, road surface quality and temperature – and
may call for the rider to adapt his or
her riding style accordingly.
It is important to remember that
excessive tread wear may be the
result of a mechanical problem (a
warped rim, poor damping, play in
the steering or a wheel/frame alignment problem, etc.).
Any one of these factors can significantly influence tire life, while the
combination of more than one factor will result in considerably higher
rates of wear.
TIRE PRESSURES
For reasons of safety, and in order to
optimise the life expectancy of a tire,
it is essential to ensure that it is correctly inflated at all times. Running
with correctly inflated tires in accordance with the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations also makes
a significant contribution to straightline and cornering handling, including under braking and at low speeds.
Running under-inflated tires can lead
to premature wear, irreversible
damage and, occasionally, a sudden
loss of air. Air is gradually lost from
tires. It is therefore essential to systematically check tire pressures
before use. When checking the pressures once a journey has started,
remember that the tires will be hot.
This causes the tire pressures to rise,
so never release air from a tire that
has just been used.
If the pressure is found to be lower
than the recommended value, it is
necessary to add air. Bear in mind,
however, that the correct pressure
of a hot tire is 0.3 bar higher than
the pressure recommended for the
same tire when cold.
After checking, remember to refit the
valve cap which, along with the valve
core itself, ensures an air-tight seal.
Each time you use your scooter, it is
important to cover the first few kilometres at a moderate speed in order
to allow your tires to get up to their
working temperature and benefit
from optimal grip.
TIRE FITTING AND REMOVAL
MIXING FRONT/REAR TIRES
Fitting and removing tires are jobs
for professionals. Improper tire fitment or removal may damage a tire
and jeopardise the rider's safety.
When replacing a tire, the following
precautions must be observed:
- check the condition of the tire and
rim;
- replace the original tire with a tire
of the same size;
- check that the speed rating and
load index are adapted to the use to
which the tire is to be put;
- in the case of certain types of scooter ensure that any fitment recommendations specified by the vehicle
manufacturer are adhered to. If in
doubt, refer to the owner's manual
or seek advice from an approved dealer of the make of scooter in question.
When fitting new tires, it is recommended to replace the valve and
valve cap which play an essential
role in ensuring an air-tight seal.
All our recommendations and advice
exclusively concern the fitment of
MICHELIN scooter tires at the front
and rear.
Except when recommended to do so
by the vehicle's manufacturer, you
are strongly advised not to mix radial
and cross-ply scooter tires. Doing so
might result in unstable handling.
WARMING UP TIRES
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Always store tires in a ventilated, dry,
temperature-controlled place, away
from direct sunlight and protected
from adverse weather conditions.
• Keep tires away from chemicals,
solvents and hydrocarbons likely to
affect their properties.
• Keep tires away from sharp objects
that may damage the tire (metal,
wood, etc.).
• Keep tires away from sources of
heat and electrical discharges.
REPAIRS
In the event of a puncture, only specialists have the required expertise
to undertake the necessary inspection of the tire's interior and exterior with a view to deciding whether
or not a tire is reparable.
The injection of a puncture sealant via
the valve must only be considered as
a partial and temporary solution.
RUNNING-IN PERIOD
A running-in period of approximately 100km is necessary for the tire
to reach its full performance potential. During this period, start to gradually lean through corners at moderate speeds.
Failure to comply with the
above recommendations may
impair the performance of the
vehicle, lead to handling problems and/or tire malfunctions
of a type that could endanger
the safety of both the user and
third parties. Michelin can in
no case be held responsible
for damages resulting from
and/or due to use that does
not comply with its recommendations.
