NEW TIRES

Hello All...
I have started to look for new tires for my Kymco Super 8 and so far I am having trouble finding tires in my size. I was hoping I could get some suggestions. I know that this has been discussed many times on the old forum but I thought I would get some new perspectives. My tire sizes are:
front - 100/80 - 14
rear - 120/80 - 14

motorcyclesuperstore website has the rear but as for the front i am having trouble locating it. That is the same problem I am having. The rear is easier to find than the front. Is my front tire size (100/80-14 ) that uncommon? I checked partsforscooter.com and they don't have them either. I know I could order new tires directly from Kymco BUT I was hoping to get better quality ones. --Jim |

I just bought a new 2013 Super8 150 and they now come stock with a 120/70 R14 front tire so you can probably go with this size which is widely available . Try these: Avon AM63 Viper Stryke , Michelin City Grip Scooter Tires, Michelin Gold Standard Scooter Tires, Pirelli Diablo Scooter tires, Shinko SR567.
I think the bigger problem would be finding a REAR tire in the correct 120/80 - 14 size. All of the tires I've seen of this size are FRONT tires, not rear(there is a difference).
