I looked and they are very expensive and always the issue of not getting what you ordered. Or it is just as bad as the wheel I have on now. Any other suggestions??? |

Oh the Express is Cool! It brought me back. I remember consumers running outboard oil in them and clogging up the Exhaust port. Thats really neat and in great shape Thanks. I love it also. 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 |

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

Hi everyone. I am new to the Scooter world. Started this craziness at the age of 59. Any way, I bought a 1986 Honda spree about a month ago. Then fell into a 1980 Honda Express.
The Spree we put new tires on and now ( I know it has nothing to do with tires) my performance is lacking on the 86.
Put new gaskets and battery on the Express and she is a peppy little toy. Waiting on tires for the Express..
I will search the forum and see if I can find what I need to know. Otherwise I will be asking questions...ppat |
