tyre sizes

Post by deckstar »

Hi
I have a honda aero i want to fit some new tyres currently they are 3.5 x 10 but seen some nice looking 120/90 x 10 would these fit? Or what is the biggest size tyre i could possibly fit?

cheers

That tire won't fit. I run that tire on the BWS50 and it is much taller and over an inch wider than you current 3.5x10.

Greetings deckstar:

the 120/90 would never fit Vision 50. Just too little room for all the width.

The 3.50 X 10 running now equates to a 90/90 X 10 and that is probably as large as you will be allowed to fit.

Should you attempt to fit 100/90, most likely there will be clearance issues. I previously owned an Aero 50 and installed 3.00X10 rubber. Honestly, I am a little surprised that the 3.50's are able to fit..... :urban:

ok seems like a found the answer from another thread
