Hi, hate to bug you on stupid stuff but these are my 1st Mopeds. The Spree has been put away for the winter but I am still having fun with the Express. It is a 1980 Express which makes it 35 years old. Try finding tires for that. A place in Manitowoc, WI ( next door to me) can get me 2 tires but the back one will be 275-14 instead of the 225-14 I have on there now. I am concerned that the 275 will be to big and possibly rub on my fender well. Or cause performance problems.
I looked on the Tire Calc. link but could only find for radial tires not Mopeds.
Any suggestions, concerns and thoughts greatly appreciated.....ppat

mopedarmy.com is the forum you need for moped related questions. there is an abundance of information there for all moped owners. i know treatland.com has tires but you'll have to look for your size.

The rides she has ARE NOT MOPEDS they are just very small scooters. A moped are those that have PEDALS as well as a motor(MO-PED)= MOTOR PEDALS.  Alleyoop |

Tomorrow it goes to get the tires on it. I will ask about the 275 but looks as if I will have to put those on. I can not do the work myself and they charge more if I bring in my own tires. So I will have 225-14 4pr on front and 275-14 4pr on back. Better not screw up my performance. The Spree had power and umph until I put tires on it. Now I have to push off with my foot to get going. ppat |

Wow! Vr Very nice I saw the head light rings but the fooler was the lil Gold in the Stripe. I though it maybe a Hurst Olds at first. Ya I did see the saddle bags of the HD in the background also. |
