CA 77 tires

Post by jgregg » Tue Feb 08, 2011 7:28 pm

I know there are other threads on here with the same topic, but what I really need is to know what size tire is comparable to a 3.25 x 16 front and the 3.50 x 16 rear.To be honest I am lost, and trying to find new tires for my ride. Any help would be appreciated. I understand I might be looking at moped/scooter tires here soon.

Eparts is a site similar to ebay.There are 3.25x16" Cheng Shin tires for sale at $109.00 a pair.
I have a set on my Dream and they work reasonably well.

I think clarenceada tried the 100/90 tires and they were a no go. Doesn't seem to be anything other than the 3.25's that fit. Coker is the only manufacturer that occasionally has the Firestone wide whites.
I had the coker tires and didn't really like the handling.

well dang. all that i have researched show the 100/90's are the equivalent of the 3.25's. i think i will go track down clarenceada and see why they didnt work. thanks for the info
