So I've been reading that the stock white wall tires are not that great.
So what are better white walls. And what about going to tube less. What's good

Get the Michelin S83 it's like the s1 but the S83 is for the Vespa/Stella

I've had better luck with the s1's. The 83 feathered the tread and wore down fast.

Heidenaus with either SIP tubeless rims or FA Italia tubeless split rims for me.

I'd say the Continental K62 is about the best whitewall around in 10".
SIP also sells whitewall rings which lets you achieve the whitewall look with any tire.

I think they're decent. The rear will rub a little, it's a hair too wide. I've heard you can add a washer to the wheel studs to shift the wheel just a bit to gain the clearance. Don't know if that's a good or bad idea though...

So I'd just like to get a little clarification....
The SIP tubeless Tire Wheel combos do or do not rub on the stock
Stella 4T? I do realize the tire size will make a difference in that answer. I don't have any safety concerns with adding a washer spacer, I'd just rather not do it. I worry that I would forget to put one back on and have uneven torque on the wheel. Also wondering how many of you guys/gals bought the a spare tubeless so you can rotate in. I saw SIP mentions a slight pull due to wheel off set when wheels are mismatched between stock and tubeless, and I'm strongly considering buying a spare. Any thoughts?

I have an SIP 2.10 rim with a 100/90 tire and it all fits just fine.

From the page:
"NOTE: Will NOT fit the rear of Genuine Stella 4T model scooters."

I still have the stock Dunlop maxi life's for all three (f/b, spare) damn things are like tractor tires, may not be the best for handling/speed performance, but they sure seem to take a beating.
