Will these tires/tubes fit my '87 Aero?

Post by donut »

I'm double checking as the manual I found online is suppose to be '87 but notes '85 when I open it up.

I think they are too wide, but if not, I would like to have some white walls...

Two Sava whitewall tires with tubes. 3.5 x 10 (these are used)

Thanks!

Greetings:

Much as I like the whitewall look, 3.50s will be too much of a PITA to be worth it. It's a real tight fit at the rear, requiring case shaving at the muffler mount area and more. Up front, a 90/90 bumps the fender at full compression, so I imagine a 3.50 will do it much worse. See if they make 3.00s if you want to avoid these headaches.
