[papa al]

Ha ha.

papa bought new rear tire for Nouvo today.

90/80-16 Michelin City Pro

[M45 model, d/c'd, rats!]

1150baht installed.

Made in Serbia, April 2014.

Looks good !

Having never bought a decent tyre for a scooter, 1150b seems quite expensive for just popping down to 7-11 and back.

Not doubting the price, just comparing to a bog standard 350b job.

1150 did seem a bit high.

Wrote it off to:

a. imported tire & weak baht.

b. 16" is semi-odd-ball size and cost more than 14 or 17".

c. Michelin is premium brand with state-of-the-industry product.

$32, no perspiration;

maybe avoid a puncture.

Serbia is a country now, right?

I learnt my lesson buying rubbish 350b tyres = constant punctures.

Spent about 1800B on a set of Michelins and never had a problem since. Michelin = good tyres

Suspect 16" are made in Serbia, 14" & 17", Thailand.

Check side-wall.
