Always used IRC on my 108cc airblade scoot now Deestone. 

Just had new rear fitted 550 bht.

... love you long time/tyme.

Whatever Honda uses is fine by me. The standard fit is IRCs. I've not had cause for complaint other than the porosity of the tubes. I have to top them up at least once a week. That, of course is the tube's problem, not the cover.

Bought a couple of tyres off the Shoppee website for my Wave 625 baht for tyres/tubes and COD had them fitted at my local somchai shop 160 baht????

rear ones are Deestone

I've had a ride around town. Support local business and all that.

It would appear that ND Tires - City is tread wise a replica of Michelin City Grip. Compound I don't know. So I'll give those a try. Or at least the front as that is the shiny one with micro cracks. 

New to me scoot and already had a couple of moments that could have resulted in a change of shorts.

Let us know how you like them.

The only things keeping your bike upright and on the road are the tires.

Makes sense to me to buy quality - which is not the same as expensive.

[VocalNeal]

Paid 900 Baht each. More than Lazada but three bike shops in town quoted the same price for 3 different brands. 

ND Rubber City. Tread is a facsimile of Michelin City Grip. (Not new City Grip 2) Compound is quite soft so grip should be good but they may not be high mileage. Which is how I would prefer them to be. 

Only thing I have noticed in one day is that they stop in a tiled car port without skidding on the tiles! Haven't yet attempted any repetition of yesterday's brown trouser moments.

Happy.

^ Above sounds wrong. I am happy as I prefer grip over longevity.
