Checked lazily for the sprintime service the belts and rollers of the Sip -shop, and noticed they have boxed service kits. Dunno if those kits are cheaper than ordering parts just listed (for my 10 000km service) as for example Piaggios kits include stupidly expensive spark plug and overpriced oil filter which both are also easier to get neighbour car-parts shop. Another strange was that if check rollers and sliders, they are not as set, they are for piece!

how many tires come on a car? Why are they sold individually versus a set?

Exactly!
Here at tire shops they are always 4-sets and including the work...I never know what is price of one tire, who cares what that is, I drive 4 on

Ha, I bet I see snow earlier at Rome, Italy than here. At least that was the case last year. still: not against a early snow, as I'd really want to get skiing!

But: it's not every winter we could drive on boat routes over sea ice.

Much to the chagrin of the one-legged people, they're always sold in pairs… 🙈

well bud your wrong they are sold individually, https://www.teras-rengas.fi/en/tires/summer-tires

just because the service center you use has you bamboozled doesn't mean that is the way it is.

That kit yes, too. (as I have not opened the air filter on mine, this looks somewhat odd one)

1R000458 is wrong for the keyless GTS 300. You will end up with wrong brake pads, sliders and rollers. Piaggio doesn't list a kit in the parts catalogue (at least I haven't found one) but Falan sells one (maybe put together by them)…

Yes, true, that link of mine, Sip, they have plenty kits with piaggio, malossi, sip... and yes, sip says there "for Vespa GTS/​GTS Super HPE 300ccm 4T LC (`18-`22)" -so it's not for mine.

Anyway, calculed a little and these kits are not saving, it's just more "all you need" thinking of.
