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. I'm more concerned about the room between the Axle and the back of the engine block . |

If he has 3.5 inch wide rims , I'm pretty sure he will have room between the shocks. But is best to measure to be certain. I barely have any room between my tire and the engine block with the 70's. With his wheels being 3 inches smaller , so that's 1.5 inches difference from the engine block , but we have to take into consideration that his axle is closer to the engine block since its a short case. He must do some measurements, but I believe they will fit. He will prob have to modify the front fender lime I did. It was very easy.

The 130/70 will be 91 mm from the rim . so if you put the rim on the scoot and measure out 91mm , you will know if you have room for the 130/70. Also measure the 130mm between the shocks

Remember, that Shinko you picked out is going to wear out pretty quickly again. That one has a really busy tread pattern, so it's going to wear faster. It is nice looking, though.

To be honest , the tread pattern should have little impact on the tread wear. Its the treadwear rating that really matters. |

The L rating is perfect!! Many are rated to only 62mph , but the 75mph rating will be great. My 13 inch shinkosnare rated up to 94 mph if I remember correctly.

To be honest , the tread pattern should have little impact on the tread wear. Its the treadwear rating that really matters. It has a HUGE impact on my Zuma. The Zuma has really good low end torque, and it just eats up back tires. The tires with the fewest grooves, and "less busy" tread pattern, last way longer for me. I don't think I've ever put an L rating on there, so that may make a difference. But, for tires with the same rating, the tread pattern makes a large difference, for me, at least. |
