Hello, How long do tires last on a Vespa? I've had mine for a few years and 13000km and are still going strong. Cheers Jason

It depends on the tyre. On cars they are date stamped but I'm just about to have my tea so I'll take a look later!!! If the tyre wall isn't cracked and started to perish, they should be fine. Keep an eye on them though, as good tyres are only around £30 each.

13kms really? What Vespa and what tyre is that?
On the rear of my P200 I get a bit over 1,300kms on both Michelin S83 and Heidenau K58, I don't run them right down to 1.6mm though..

on the front yes ,as bryno says ,on the rear you must be a feather-weight to get 13,000 km , or running rock hard wheelbarrow tyres .H

What make are the 13000km tyres? Mate, how do they handle?😉
On the surface it appears they aren't that bad, as your alive to tell the tale !😉
Ride safe
Jim ( mij) ☺

If that's 13000km, that's in and out of the shed a hell of a lot.

I do a lot of miles, I check mine for wear, that's it. Never check how many miles it's done, only for cracks and baldness.

Hi there, I don't know what brand they are. They are the one that came with the Vespa 125 Sport. I weigh 79km. I had the machine serviced a few weeks ago and they didn't mention any tire issues.

It'll be written on the tyre, bud 😉 Is a vespa 125 sport an auto? Heard of a 100 sport, ( small frame) as a few guys bought them cheap in the early to mid 1980's, when the Yanks 😉 knocked a load of them back and Vespa UK bought them cheap! ride safe Jim |
