Tire info

Post by benjammer112 »

a 90/90 will replace a 2.75 X 10in tire correct? and if so where can i order one? because i would like to change my gear ratio just a little bit in order to achieve a slightly faster top speed, so what website would be good for ordering a 90/90 10in tire?
i ride so fast that my scooter flies into the sky and i rain chocolate on the little children.

Greetings:

I see by your profile that one of your 2 Hondas is an Elite SE50. If so, the 90/90 should fit that scooter. at 3.18" tall and 3.54" wide, it won't fit a Spree. The upgear is minor since it increases the nominal rear tire diameter to 16.36 over the 15.5" of the stock 2.75. It's about a ~6% gain only. If you went 40 MPH with the stock tires, you might make 42 and change with the bigger skins, presuming gearing was the limiting factor. If power was the issue, you'll only see the difference going downwind or downhill.

MotorcycleSuperstore.com has good prices on Pirelli SL-26 and many other brands in that 90/90 size.
