Hi Chas,
I hope all is well in the Big Easy! I have a question about the tires on my ET4.
How do you know when to replace tires? I have 2500 miles, have not had a puncture, and closely monitor the air pressure. In other words, are my tires worn out?
Thanks,
Mike Belmont
Mr. Belmont,
All tires have wear marks located within the grooves or channels. This is a small raised portion in the groove. When your tire is worn down to this surface (or depth)it is certainly time to replace them.
It is a great time to consider tire condition; Vespa New Orleans has all Vespa ET and Granturismo Pirelli tires on sale for 15% off until March 31st.
Thanks for writing,
Chas
