Best Tyre Combination for Automatic


1. I like to sling my scooter around corners what is best?

The Paceman is a full Race spec tyre made from a super soft compound and is ideal for front and rear fitment, unfortunately there are limited sizes for automatic scooters.
The Paceman tyre is suited to be used on the front as it has excellent grip and prevents front wheel wash out, along with full grip and slide control on the rear.
Don’t expect the Paceman tyre to give high mileage on the rear because of its soft compound.
If you require a longer lasting tyre then use the Raceman tyre.
For riders wanting to race around in wet conditions then use the Weatherman, these have a soft compound and grip designed to shred water in corners.

2. What is the best Schwalbe tyre?

This all depends on you and the type of riding you do.

A scooter used for two up riding or carrying a heavy load may require a harder compound tyre. i:e the Classic or Powertrack.

A scooter used for all round riding and fast cornering may require a slightly softer tyre. i:e the Raceman or Weatherman.

And a scooter used for racing around corners will require a soft grip tyre. i:e the Paceman.
