Hi All,

Just a quick question about tires...anyone tried using radial tires on their Vento or other bike??? Any reason anyone know of why they would not work on these small displacement bikes??? I actually found a manufacturer of radials in the 13/60R-13 size. The address for this manufacturer is: http:// www.savatech.si/ velo/scooter-text- tyre-rim.htm

Be advised it is in french, so be prepared...

My thinking is that the radial design would give us all better tire life, excellent handling and possibly even higher top speed and better fuel economy. It seems like it would be a win-win all the way around. If anyone knows why this would not be true or knows why we should NOT seek these tires out, please say something and keep me from making a dumb mistake. :oops:

um hears a good one.. i had a friend that put similar tires on his scoot, she was so pissed cause evey bump she\'d hit she\'d almost fly off the bike b/c the spring rate is off the effing wall. not a good idea i don\'t want to see you make a bad bad bad mistake.. any counter arguments? BTW gas millage was suberb and top end by aleast a good 3- 5 mph
