I suppose it depends on how light you travel, but the link below may be helpful.

This was what I had. I loaded it down a little more than this. If you click the link on my sig line and then look at the photos under Couch Freaks and you will see photos from my trip. I did 500 miles in one day.

I'm a small guy and it was nice to have a bit of a back support.

Are those the white walls from Motorsport Scooters? And if so what do you think of them?

they are whitewalls for motorsport scooters! They handle very nice. I am actually in the need to replacing the back tire already. I rode those brand new to Amerivespa round trip about 1200 miles without any concern. I've since then put another 2500 miles on them. So I say the back tire has received some good wear worth the $$$. I've spoken to other fellow MVer's that like them as well.

Motorsport really takes care of you when ordering them. Same day ship from west coast received them in about 2 days on the east coast.

Give'm a try...

I just put K58's on for the winter but come summer time I'm thinking the WWs will be nice. I like the looks and they are by far cheeper.
