I know this must have been asked before, but useing the search function I only find questions about tires 3.0/10 and bigger. Would a 2.75/10 fit on an '86 Aero? I would like to order new tires from Motprcycle Superstore, and they have 2.5/10, 2.75/10, and 3.5/10. So if something bigger than the 2.5/10 would fit without rubbing I would like to run them!
Thanks,
Dan

Greetings:
2.75s were stock. Some P.O. must have found some 2.5s and installed them. 90/90s fit comfortably in back, rub the fender at full squat in front. Some say a 3.5 will fit in back, I've never tried. Remember some brands are bigger than others, even if the size stamp is the same.

Most of my money is spent on scooterparts. The rest is just wasted.

Thanks Wheelman! 2.75's it is, I don't want to waste the $ on trying to fit a 3.5 only to learn it doesn't fit, or gets grooved the first bump I hit.

3.00s reportedly fit without issues. The advantage of that 0.25" is considerable in terms of ride quality, give a little more groundspeed compared to 2.75s.

Motorcycle Superstore didn't have the 3.0 they only had 2.75 and 3.5's in the tires that were recomended when I searched this forum. I ordered the 2.75's and some new tubes a few minutes ago.
