Tyre sizes
Posted: 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.
