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.

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.
