Pirelli SL 26 3.5x10... anybody use these? will they fit?
Price seems alright on these. Anybody use them? Can anybody confirm they fit on an sa50p elite?

Why shouldn't they fit?
90/90 tires fit my elite S on a met rim.

I thought the met rims were the same as most of the 50cc family. Are they different?

The Honda Aero/Elite/Sprees we discuss here are tube-type tires, so you switch in a Metropolitan rim to go tubeless and use the SL26 tires above.

Greetings:
A tubeless type tire should be run with a tube if used on Spree/Aero/Elite rims. You must convert to Met rims if you intend to run without, or ride at the peril of sudden catastrophic deflation next time you run over a 2x4.
The 3.50 fits the SA50 without issues in front, but the 1.85"-wide rim make it look like a light bulb, thus introducing some steering slop. The 2.15" Met rims are better for anything bigger than 3.00.
Out back, the 3.50s need some case shaving around the muffler bracket bosses to avoid contact at higher speed. It's really not worth it, as the 90/90 fits without such issues. The 90/90 is actually a hair wider, but not as tall as the 3.50. I'd get 90s for both ends if I were starting over.

Re: Pirelli SL 26 3.5x10... anybody use these? will they fit?
Thanks Wheelman... I'm just confused as to what the Met wheel is... what do I have on a 95' Honda Elite 50S? I'm assuming the wider wheel? 2.15"... so if I order a 90/90 Pirelli SL 26 for the front and one for the back I will be happy and not have to shave anything correct?Wheelman-111 wrote:Greetings:

Re: Pirelli SL 26 3.5x10... anybody use these? will they fit?
ahh ok... so sa50 wheels are 1.85" and metropolitan (met) wheels are 2.15"
Well I'm looking at my current rear wheel and I have some Cheng Shin's C-917 3.00x10 which are tubeless tires that the dealer had installed a while back... I never had a catastrophic blowout...?

ahh I see the stamping on the lip of my rear wheel 10x1.85... so is that the cool thing to do around here is to buy metropolitan wheels?

I run the same tire on my Elite (rear) don't put it on the front the speedo will be off. It will not give any benefit on the front.

It will have a plusher ride with the bigger front tire. The bigger tire is better able to withstand the pot holes too.martynkim wrote:I run the same tire on my Elite (rear) don't put it on the front the speedo will be off. It will not give any benefit on the front.
