Either one of those tires will work well. Both companies produce high quality tires.

Performance tires? On a 50cc? Only my opinion but it seems like the money could be spent better in other areas. But you're smart guy...maybe you already did this stuff. Replace the sparkplug? Replace the vacuum and fuel lines? Replace the battery?

I look at it this way. Most 50cc scoots have 10 inch wheels like some 150s. You won't be making the same power on a 50 without some big bores and explosive mods. I put on the cheapest Cheng Shin tire I could find four years ago and it's almost worn out 5,300 miles later.

Ha they barely are, that's why I figure to replace them. The hongduo's are stiffer than a board no matter how much pressure I run in them, I'm not sure how much power increase it was noticeable but I'm not doing wheelies now or anything yet haha
