Typical scooter rear tire life for the Reflex scooter is 5 to 8 thousand miles. Mine usually went 6K miles.

I wrote about doing tire changes at that interval when my short list included only bikes that had no suitable darkside available, such as the CBR250.
Yes, I'm crazy enough to darkside, but thanks for trying to convince me nonetheless.
Speaking of which, a CT is sitting on the bench right now, waiting for the last vestiges of rubber to disappear from the rear on the 'Strom.
