Anyone here running a 110/80-10 rear tire?
Good morning Modern Buddy. My rear tire is about due for replacement. Last time I bought tires for this they were $25 a piece. The cheapest I could find a 100/90-10 for was around $38. I'm going to give this Kenda 110/80-10 a go. They were only $22 a piece. Looks to be 4mm shorter and 10mm wider than the stock size. Might give a bit more grip on the rear and I'll loose a micron of top speed. Anyone one here doing this? Thanks in advance.

I have no experience running them but I know there were a few people running 110/80-10 for the front tire since that is about the biggest tire that will fit on the front of the 125/150/170.
Based on some quick math it is very close to the height of a 3.50-10 so I can't see it being a problem, and $22 is a good price.

I installed this 110/80-10 on the rear over the weekend, and I'm happy with it. It's about 1/2 wider than the stock tire. The scooter feels a bit more planted. I could be imagining it. I went back to Revzilla to order a couple more. They are out of stock. Glad I bought two.
