I might have to ditch the whitewalls :/ Shinko is a good brand also. They seem to last about 10k miles. That is the rear. The front will last at least 20k . I use to switch the front to the back and put the new tire on front, but I'm keeping the front tire in place from now on . |

You should be able to fit a 130/70 , 130/60 on your scoot. My rim is also 3.50 inch wide. The 130's will be pretty wide on your scoot. So a 130/60/10 and a 130/70/10 should work.

140's may have rubbed the shocks on mine , I'm not sure. The 130/70/13 tires I bought , were a little taller then the stock 130/60/13 . the tire is about .5 inch from the rear of the engine block. I beleive it will be the same on yours since the short case is about 1.5 + shorter then a long case, from axle to the rear of the block.

How much room do you have between your rear tire and the back of the engine block?

His scooter uses the 3.5 X 10. Will the tires he is talking about fit, GEH? Hold up, Ital. We need to make sure these will fit. |

Alright, 130/70 fits on a 3.5 rim. But, I think you need, say 10mm clearance width to make it work. Check how much room you have between your tire and swing arm, and tire and shock spring.
