Front tire for Super 8
« on: January 29, 2014, 10:10:42 PM »
I can't find a 120/60-14 front tire except for the stock Chen Shin.  Anyone put a 120/70-14 on their super 8?  I wanted to be sure it would fit OK.

What tire is that?  Any problems clearing the fender?

What do you have on the rear?

rear is 130/70/14   brand is Mizzle.... soft compound rubber,, very good on wet roads




This is the best for the Super 8 in our country (Philippines) Very popular here... It's made in Indonesia.

I doubt we can get that here in the USA.  The only choices I have found are the stock tire, or a front tire on the rear, or a 140/60-14 or 140/70-14.

My 2013 Super8 150 came with a 120/70-14 on the front and a 120/80-14 on the rear.

That's the same tire sizes my 2012 Super8 150 came with.
