I'd like to put larger tires on my 150cc Adventure scooter, I believe the stock tires are 130/60-13's.
Anyone know the largest tires that can be put on the stock wheels without modification? Ideally I'd like more tread making contact with the pavement, and forgive me if I sound like a novice to tire sizes, but that is exactly what I am.

This may help.. www.bikebandit.com/scooter-tires/c/a642336a4Scooter tires aren't like car tires, they are designed to have a small profile on the pavement and the curved design allows for better traction on corners when the bike is leaning... |

the largest tire I have seen for a 13" scooter wheel is 150/70/13. I was actually planning on going to one for the rear tire on my scootercycle. A little more meat in the back and a little more cushion. Here is a couple of tire options in that size: www.motorcyclemaniacstore.com/search.php?mode=search&page=1I plan on going with the Avons personally. |

What is MOST important about scooter tires is the grade or speed letter code.
Most stock tires are 'P' grade and if you replace them you should get 'S' grade.
