Super 8 50 Rear Tire Options?
« on: June 03, 2016, 09:10:19 PM »
I'm driving myself crazy attempting to look for a 120/80/R14 tire for my Super 8 50.  Has anyone had luck with a 140 at all?  I cannot find 130 either and am worried about the extra .37 inch width going to a 140/70/14.  I'd rub on the damn shock for sure.  Anyone have any suggestions or had any luck with anything?

Thanks!

Unfortunately no.  I've had no success with Google.  Looks like the major manufacturers and 2nd tier have our front tires, but not the rear 120/80/R14.  I'm curious to see if others have had success with 140/70/R14 at all.  I'm not very interested in the stock tires that are OM on the Super 8.
