100/90-16 33B Make: CST (Cheng Shin Tire) Model: Scout "E-Moped Style" (Front,Rear) Solar E-Clipse Motorcycle (Carbon Fiber Rim) The front tire was deformed after being strapping down to a carrier (reasonable tension). This deformation resulted in a dangerous speed wobble at speeds >~40mph. Upon speaking with the motorcycle manufacturer (Solar Motors) to find a replacement, I uncovered the tire is marked with a "B" speed rating (max speed of 31mph). Additionally, the tire is labeled "E-Moped Style," and stamped "moped" with an e-bike sizing (20 x 4.0). Visually identical tires are sold online at various outlets (Amazon, E-bay) for "e-mopeds" or e-bikes. This is a safety issue because, per the rating stamped on this tire, the tire is rated for a maximum speed of 31mph, less than 50% of the speed the motorcycle is capable of. Solar motors claims that CST tells them the tire has an "internal specification" such that the tire is rated for 70mph (the exact max. speed of my bike without safety margin). Even if this were true, the stamped "B" speed rating would lead someone in finding a replacement tire to match this specification and thus install an underrated ("B" rated) tire. The dealer (Solar Motors) claims to be checking with their suppler (CST Tire) to confirm an "internal specification" that is different than the "B" speed rating marked on the tire. In our communication over several weeks, Solar only tells me they will continue to confirm aspects of this tire classification w

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
