Got any indoor go-kart tracks around? Sadly no. The only one in my area closed a few years ago. I loved that place. My buddy knew the owner and he said the guy went nuts and no one has seen him since they closed lol. My buddy had the third fastest kart in Maine when they closed. |

go hop on your scoot and head over to the track then, since it's closed, no one will be there, it's just you!  |

How about an indoor mall,just saying. First, good climate,food courts,good scenery, and you will get your 15 minutes on the evening news. Wear a 49ccscooter.com shirt and do us proud.

 Mitas mc32 win scoot tires with gripstudz tire studs on my 2015 Honda Grom. They grip quite well on most snow conditions. Here's some videos of me riding this winter with them. youtu.be/X7jrCtpgALIyoutu.be/3l1MxLrZD1M |

They look like small thumb tacks lol Great thing to have I think, assuming you don't have to throw the tire away, and you can just remove them for another use.👍 |

Studs!!! That's great!
Are they legal in Colorado? I didn't think they were legal anywhere in the USA.
Anyone here old enough to remember when studded tires were marketed to automobiles? About 1970 or so. They left a perfect pattern of holes in asphalt and they were outlawed quickly. About one year was all it took if memory serves.
That was in Michigan. But I'd had the impression that every other state did the same thing at about the same time.

Yep, fully legal out here, there's a handful of states that still allow them. Actually encouraged by "traction laws" during winter above certain elevations here in Colorado, though I don't know the specifics on the laws.
Very glad the tires/studs grip as well as they do and that I enjoy riding in the snow. $180 for the tires, $150 for the studs, and $30 for the ride-on(balancing/puncture sealing compound) for a total of $360(without labor, I do my own). With that price tag I'm being very nice to them. Even swapped back to my all season tires since we've been having a freakishly warm winter(last Friday was 80*f in Denver). Did a stud count when I took them off and I haven't thrown any yet. None of them needed adjustments either. They are showing a tiny bit of wear from about 900miles, estimating that about 200 of that was on snow/ice.
Also will say this style of stud didn't affect my traction on pavement like most people said they would. Then again I was very careful setting their depth, took me 3.5 hours for 280 studs. Ran the stud in slightly too far, then back it out till it sticks by a mm or two. Did that so the stud would press into the tire a bit more on pavement, allowing tire tire to fully contact the pavement for maximum traction.
