Ok, that's what I thought.. they are on a Vespa I just purchased in very good condition but I ordered new pair City Grip 2 regardless.

If there already on the scooter in date and in good condition then use them , They just would not be my choice of tyres to purchase.

they were absolute shit when they were new and seeing as that they're still on the bike they're well beyond their "best by date".

best thing for those is to set them on fire and mutter under your breath: see you in hell

Try riding in the rain on a pair of Sava's, in traffic.

If you want to taste your own mortality, give it a go.

An Aprilia SC300 that I bought several years ago had a pair of Savas. Rode it about a week that way. The tires scared the hell out of me. I swapped them for a new set of Michelin Power Pures. Problem solved!

My 2016 Sprint 150 had Savas. I love the scooter but never trusted those tires. Even with correct inflation they always felt unsettled in curves. Put on a set of Angels and the traction is absolutely confidence-inspiring!

My first scoot, an SYM, came with Duro tires. They were scary while dry, but I didn't know any better.

sorry but I don't have much experience with tires. The tires that came on the Vespa I believe were michelins and were good, even in the rain which when in Chicago happened to me many times. When I came to AZ as my tires were old I replaced them with City Grip 2's as the ones were not available then. I think they have been great. But as in AZ rain is not something I see much so I have no experience with that, but before Ii got them I checked the reviews as well as MV and they seemed to be the way to go. Hope this helps.
