wide tires By scoot (Read 780 times)

Does anyone know if wider tires are available for the 150cc scooters? I now run 130 x 13 on the front and rear but think it would be cool to have a wider one on the rear (just a old hot rodder dreaming out loud) my scooter is a long case w/rear disc brakes.if that helps,if one of you knows a supplier please let me know.thanks

scoot,jct842 Hey Thanks, lots of choices I guess now all I have to do is figure out how wide I can fit in the swing arm.thanks again.p.s. have you had any experience with putting wider tires on a scooter?

On my 150 I did put a wider rear on it. Don't remember the size though. I might be able to look tomorrow.

Hi did you change the front as well,what I mean is the same tread design I think that would be good for handling what do you think? scoot,jct842

both were pirelli sl26 tires, I picked up a nail in the rear so I replaced it with the same tire just a bigger size shortly before the dog. It did seem a bunch better, being bigger it gave a little more speed with same rpms. It looks like it is a 130/70/12 and am not sure I could have gone bigger.

tire is flat right now and scooter has not been started or moved since a dog ran out under the front wheel a year and a half ago. went end over end then rolled side ways all at less than `15mph. handle bars bent, steering head bearings out of race, frame has to be bent, every piece of plastic on it is either scratched or broken.
