I've got Citygrips and I have two of them, one front and one on the back. I don't recall if they are the Citygrip 2's though. I'll have to check. I have no complaints about the Citygrips that I have on the bike though. Brilliant tyres. Do you know the difference between the Citygrip 1's and 2's?

Right, mine are definitely the Citigrip 1's. But I'd guess the 2's will be equally as good as the 1's. Just can't confirm that...sorry.

Well, you'd hope they'd be better! Otherwise there seems little point. But I hated them anyway....

Anyone tried the Pirelli Angel yet, they sound good.

Also firmish but supposed to be descgned to absorb bumps !!!

The grip is supposed to be very good. Not sure re wear.

Ive aloways found city grips very good myself in the dry.

Just had one put on the rear after a puncture. £82 for the tyre and £25 fitting.

Not much riding going now but I'll let you know how it goes when I do.

OH great, look forward to hearing .

Especially re the bump absorbtion properties always good on a scooter.

They sound like a well balanced tyre from what I`ve read.

Thanks too.
