MOPED ARMY

better than gazelles, imo

They're great when crossing bridges that are grated and in the rain.

you've had problems with them fuckin shrearing to pieces or something?

I think they're rated to handle 62mph.

From what I understand, sava's if you take your ped out on nice days .. meaning no rain, no off roading.

Gazelles for all-around weather and terrain factor.

Some swear they grip better than savas but some also say they grip the same.

Sounds like they'll work good for me. I guess i'll get a pair tomorrow.

gazelles are rad, just hard to put on and heavy. i ride my sava mc11s year round in seattle. that = lots of rain riding. never had a problem!

listen to dean. kthxbye

I have sava's on some of my bikes and IRC's as well as gazelles. I like all 3. Sava's for semi slicks are good in the rain in my opionion. Gazelles are too. In the end ,Gazelle's are a great tire in all circumstatnces, but shit man, id rather put a sava on any day.

I think alot of sava bad press got generated by a bunch of people dumping some old ones on ebay and the like. A new set of sava's is one of the first things id rec. for anyone with a bike looking to upgrade for rideabliity. Easy on, great tires.

Ive put a lot of miles on a set in a couple of years..and have been impressed.

Its all what ya want.

Thanks Andrew. Yeah, im ordering up a set of these tomorrow. Unfortunately, im gonna have to order from you-know-where.

I wouldn't get the Sava's. Call up 77 and get some of their rad Hutchinson's. They are like 2.5's and almost like the michelin m29's (which are the best moped tire). Sava's are decent, but the compound is soft and they wear a bit too quick. They do look good on a maxi though.

maybe the cracked ones are the old ones that were sitting around.

77 previously did not stock sava's , they outsourced em and had em drop shipped to you. They never saw the tires. So it would not be thier fault nor would they know if you got a crappy old set. I know they had problems with distributors.

MWH for good or for bad has sava's in sets with tubes, and every time ive ordered them , they have quickly sent me new tires and tubes for a decent price.

A search for moped tires under ebay brings up some too.

try denniskirk.com for irc's or quarterkick like others say if you want to try the irc's. I like them alot too.
