Tyre sizes

Post by Skeomorph » Mon May 02, 2022 8:37 pm

Hi All,

I'm new to Triking and have no previous experience of motorbikes so need a bit of enlightenment.

Front tyres: it seems people on this forum are using 4 inch wide tyres. I've seen some listed as 100/80 - is this equivalent to a 4 inch tyre? If so, presumably the 80 is the aspect ratio? Also, some listed as front tyres, some as rear. What's the difference?
Additionally, what speed rating is required?

Rear tyre: I've got the 15" car tyre wheel, what width and aspect ratio should I be looking for?

Thanks for any advice,

S.

Hi S,
My T3 currently has Front: MITAS 4.00 x 18 Tubed H-06.
Rear: Vredestein 155 SR15 82S this is similar to previously used Toyo 155 R15 82S.
Alan usually has them in stock.
All the best
Richard
