Affordable, reliable solution
Recently had to replace the rear tyre on my scooter, my local bike shop had the Michelin city grip in stock. Well priced, good performance in wet and dry.
Nice grip on wet & dry
Loved the performance of this tire
Grip level
My city grip are not so grippy? Sorry but I’ve had some big Moto gp type saves ...
Great tyre
Fantastic tyre just as good in wet as on dry. Adds confidence with peace and security of being well made
Geezer pleaser
I am an older man (68) but still really enjoy riding my 2014 Vespa GTS 300 Super. At my age, I ride very conservatively. The City Grip is very pleasant in all the situations that I have encountered, from about 45 degrees F to 95 degrees F, very dry to slightly wet. I have never felt that the tires have been a problem, or a compromise to my safety. The only thing I have noticed is a tendency to "weave" slightly when braking hard at high speeds. This does not seem to have negatively affected the stability or stopping times. I must say that the City Grips have provided the smoothest, quietest ride of any tires I have ever used. The tire mileage is exceptional.

Awesome tyres. I used to only use Pirelli until I discovered the city grip. I get over 30,000s out of a set.
allrounder in mild climate
Using this tyre all year round, even in winter. Is slightly slippery at cold mornings (when road is wet and temp. is about 1-4C. But handling is acceptable even with a bit of snow on road. One bad thing. Because at my scooter this tyre is only 13", i've got lot of problems with punctures. Lost 3 tyres in 2 years... But, just replaced to 2nd generation, still with Michelin and hopefully new compound will be more puncture proof (or is my bad luck?) If You consider to buy, think twice, 2nd gen has "shark tooth" lamels, so should be more grippy.
