Vee Moto Manhattan APEX Tire - 3.50-10 Performance Compound

The Vee Moto Manhattan APEX is the ultimate high-performance tire for riders who refuse to sacrifice grip. Featuring the VRM-396 tread pattern and Vee's legendary Tackee compound, the APEX series represents the pinnacle of street-legal traction, offering unmatched confidence in both aggressive lean angles and wet-weather commuting.

Performance Features:

• APEX Racing Compound: An ultra-grippy, soft-construction rubber that provides "sticky" traction similar to racing slicks while maintaining street durability.
• All-Weather Tread: The VRM-396 Manhattan pattern efficiently channels water away for superior wet-road performance.
• Reinforced Casing: High load rating (59J) ensures stability under the weight of full-size scooters and passengers.

• Load/Speed Rating: 59J (536 lbs @ 41 PSI / 62 MPH Max)
• Tread Pattern: VRM-396 Manhattan Apex
• Comparison: Performance and grip profile comparable to the Pirelli Angel Scooter tire.

Fitment Note: This tire is designed with a slightly wider profile than standard 3.50-10 tires to maximize the contact patch. Please verify clearance around your forks, shocks, and crankcase before installation to prevent rubbing.

Performance Note: Enhanced grip comes at a cost.  This tire will wear at a faster rate than the slippery brick that is currently on your ride.

Pro Tip: To get the most out of the Tackee compound, ensure your tire pressure is checked weekly. Running this tire at the recommended 41 PSI (max load) ensures the best balance of longevity and cornering grip.
