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?

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.....

Your right not sure where i got 3.5 x 10 from!! they are presently 2.75 x 10. Could i fit a 3.00 x 10 what would be the equivalent in a metric size?

ok seems like a found the answer from another thread
bakaracer wrote:yeah you can run a 3.00x10 tire or a 80/90-10 tire up front. for the back you can run a 90/90-10 tire. there are some 3.50x10 tires that will fit without rubbing but for sure a 90/90-10 will fit. the taller tire will give you another 2-3mph more topend too. try to keep the front as close to the oem size so it doesnt throw the steering feel off to much and the speedo. the 80/90-10 front tire keep those really close. you got alot of options for tires with those sizes
