Michelin City Pro 90/100 -10 53J Tubeless Scooter Tyre, Front or Rear (Home Shipment)

Michelin is a premium brand known to offer a quality rubber , good grip & ride comfort.So I decided to test it on my own activa with its known issues of poor grip & skidding over road.Anyways ,The treads on my stock tires were slight worn out too, being in scarce service as a secondary vehicle since 2010.This reason itself was enough to try out something new.ABOUT THE PRODUCT :--------------------------------1.) Purchased a pair of these 90/100 -10 tubeless tires to replace,both the front & rear wheels simultaneously.90 denotes the width in mm ,100 is the percent of the width that is the height of sidewalls in mm ( that is 90 mm width & 100 percent of 90 mm as height of sidewalls) 10" inch is the rim diameter to be put in.53 J stands for 53 is the load index which translates to a load of 206 Kg & J represents a maximum speed of maximum rated 100 km per hour.2.) The tires are indian standards institute ( ISI) certified and can be inflated to max 36 psi as per engravings on the tires.3.) Got each one for a price of 1215 rupees which is a bit high but quite expected of a premium brand.4.) The tread pattern looks quite reasonable unlike few other brands where the tread looks more hard & rugged as if made for a rocky terrain, with an obvious low comfort ride.Even the sidewalls have a grip pattern of treads carved probably for a better grip at turns.5.) Each tire has a orange and green colored painted lining over one half of a tire, probably to place it at front or rear.Any tire can be used for front or rear and a direction of an arrow is clearly marked to place it accordingly.The paint linings are reversed for front & rear positions.5.) As for the ride comfort , with these i can surely feel a better well placed grip on the road with a better ride quality though directly comparing by a simple finger touch the previous Nylo grip , looks more of a lower grade rubber & more hard , as compared to these.6.) Even though these are tubeless , i had it fitted with tubes on account of numerous reports of air leakage due to deformed rim, so you can consider the same for increased reliability.That said sustainability to punctures remains to be seen, as a correct angle of sharp material can pierce the hardest of tires anyhow, however i firmly believe in favor of ride quality,Final Verdict:-----------------------All in all,since i personally rate grip & ride comfort much above hardness or a bumpy ride,i am well satisfied with these with a few days of use.

My Activa Dlx has done 26K kms and it was time to change the rear tyre as the center line was not visible at few places and was getting riskier to drive or taking corners. My stock MRF Zapper tyres Tube type have lasted really long and my front tyres are still in very good condition.Got my rear Tyre replaced with Michellin Tubeless Tyre. First impressions: As soon as I rode I could really see a huge difference in my ride, you can feel the scooter sticks to the road and holds a good grip.Even in bumpy roads the ride feels very smooth and taking turns/corners even at 40Kmph+ is easy and confident. Maybe cause I just switched from old to new so I am seeing this but I can say they are better upgrade. Another noticeable diff is my top speed has now slightly reduced but anyways that doesn't matter over safety. Not checked on wet roads.

Awesome tyres great grip, smooth riding with luxuryus feeling and comfort. It swings when I ride above 45speed" it's awesome feel maybe because it's radiel tyre , It was my first time buying Michelin tyres after using it I have decided to buy only Michelin for all my vehicles, great price 1300₹ bye 2 as a set for more comfortable riding & balance, Michelin make good tyres for any weather, they don't have to be fancy looking they just have to be good and that's what I like about Michelin. I highly recommended everyone to go for these tyres, I bought them for my Honda activa, Same tyres for front and rare wheels only direction changes which is shown on the tyres very easy to recognise when you look at the tyre , Amazing packing & delivery from amazon, Thank you.

Using Edit Mode after riding these for 11 thousand Km:I run only about 20 Km average per day so not a heavy user. I have used many brands of Tyre but I feel better with these Michelins. However they may not be for everyone as my list of Pros and Negatives could be different from yours. I went to market again for replacement of rear Tyre on Suzuki Access 125 after the tread wore down to remaining 25% and it ran 11 thousand KM. (Front is also a Michelin but being non load bearing it will still ride for another 12 thousand KM as hardly any tread wore off so far.Pros:Soft rubber compound and side walls result in more supple but comfortable ride.Side walls are thicker than many other brands (especially CEAT because they have thinnest side wall and puncture early) but still not thick enough to give backache like MRFs (MRF have thin but harder side wall and harsh ride).Perhaps Michlins are not a high mileage tread because of soft rubber compound. But I change Tyre by 10 thousand KMs. last one lasted me 11K but I drive very normal and not aggressively.If your scooter rim supports it then it is a True tubeless Tyre and not Indian Jugaad tubeless. MY Suzuki 125 came with tubeless CEATs pre-fitted so I knew Michelin is direct fit.I did not suffer a single puncture because of thick tread material.Cons:Perhaps cost is high but I do not mind few hundred rupees extra for a better and softer ride.Wear out faster if you have aggressive riding habit.Due to soft side walls, you may not be able to ride on a punctured Tyre like you can on MRF.Overall outer shape curve is slightly oval in center which result in a bit of unstable ride unlike other Tyre that have flatter design in center. (new CEAT are flat in middle).Since the tread pattern is not aggressive and rather build fora plush ride; don't expect Michelin to work in heavy rains as they slip easily and I don't feel very confidant to drive on these tires during rains.So these are a mix bag for me. If I am looking for softest rubber compound and thinner side walls for softer ride and lowest average life in KMs, I will opt for CEAT Milaze (Not Zoom series).But you like a little firm ride, longer mileage and average performance in rains but very good grip in dry then Michelins can serve you well.

Amazing tyre
