cali4995 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) we were talking about tire / wheel combos on another thread . the baby yamahas ( fino, mio 115) have wheel widths 1.4 in and 1.6 in the 125's have a 1.85 in rear. i'm guessing the aerox is wider still. you can only change the width so much before the curvature of tire is compromised. and it doesn't rub on coilovers or whatever else. hopefully maintain close to same outside dia so gearing and speedo not affected. a160 / 60 -14 is same outside dia but would it physically fit. the big tire craze seems to have hit philippines. many utube vids showing tire combos . i disavow all knowledge of this post / material Edited February 25, 2021 by cali4995 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackdd Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The engineers of the bike probably know a bit about what they are doing and chose the optimal tire width, so by changing the width you can only make it worse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bean counters are the ones who decide. Look at some FortNine videos re: tires - and see how the OEM "Pirellis" have 1/2 the tread depth as aftermarket Pirellis. Wider tires are a good choice in all but Ice and Snow - hardly relevant here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n210mp Posted February 25, 2021 Author Share Posted February 25, 2021 Thank you for your comments. I decided to stay with the "Standard" sizes but only because i could not get any info on fitting bigger tyres After "talking " to 3 companies in Pattaya I went with this pair from Lazada Aspira Sportivo tire 110 / 80-14 + 140 / 70-14 (Front 110 / 80-14), (Rear 140 / 70-14) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canthai55 Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Never heard of that brand - Mr Google says it is an Italian company, partnership with Pirelli, made in Indonesia. Running Pirellis made outside Jakarta myself. Well pleased with their performance, dry and wet, on and off road. Le us know how they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just as an aside, I have never been happy with the "Shocks" on my moviestar and possibly erroneously had an idea that wider based tyres may help with the impact on any little bump in the road that shakes my ageing wrists to pieces Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canthai55 Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Do you buy motorcycles from the tire dealer ? Then why would you buy tires from a motorcycle dealer, who goes to a tire dealer and buys them, marks them up, and sells to you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
