The trend towards retro scooters – sporty and stylish models often
with cool modifications – as well as to large performance scooters, is
increasingly apparent in urban areas, where there is demand for hip,
two-wheeled transportation. Whether suited to business or sports,
whether classic or glamorous – scooters are buzzing around our streets
and our cities. Cheap mobility, twinned with great everyday usability,
is forging enthusiasm in the young and old alike. The situation
regarding driver’s licenses is just another of the many reasons for
scooters' current popularity.
The renowned Italian tire brand GoldenTyre, already well-established in
the motorsports world, has recognized this trend and is introducing a
new range of tires for scooters in 2012. GoldenTyre is revving up with
an attractive range in new treads and sizes. The developers have
tailored all of the new scooter-tire models to driver's needs, and
especially for everyday use in any weather.
GT 75 M+S
With the new GT 75 M+S, scooter riders can now brave even wintry or
other unpleasant weather conditions, such as wet and slippery driving
surfaces – they are ready for anything. Experts recommend riding with a
lower tire inflation pressure in the cold season; with its reinforced
carcass, this tire offers added safety and optimum grip in exactly these
conditions. Its special sipe design, tailored to M+S requirements, does
a superb job in wet conditions, in snow, or in slush. The GT 75 M+S
winter tire for scooters is available in 10-, 12-, and 14-inch sizes.
All sizes are RF designated (reinforced), with increased weight-bearing
capacity – and are therefore also suitable for heavy scooter models.
Available sizes:
100/80-10 TLS 58P RF M+S
120/70-12 TLS 58 PRF M+S
140/60-14
TLS 64P RF M+S
Additional sizes will follow during the year:
GT 070/071 for high-powered performance scooters
The scooter with the power of a motorcycle. Large-displacement
performance scooters with power specifications over 50PS are in strong
demand. The German motorcycle and car manufacturer BMW recently
presented two new performance scooter models at the Milan trade fair:
the BMW C 600 Sport and C650 GT EICMA. Most vehicles in this high-power
scooter segment run on 15-inch radial tires with the latest tire
technology, perfectly suited to everyday street use and to medium-length
trips.
Available sizes:
