Title: Front tire for Super 8
Post by: klaviator on January 29, 2014, 10:10:42 PM
I can't find a 120/60-14 front tire except for the stock Chen Shin.  Anyone put a 120/70-14 on their super 8?  I wanted to be sure it would fit OK.

What tire is that?  Any problems clearing the fender?

What do you have on the rear?

This is the best for the Super 8 in our country (Philippines) Very popular here... It's made in Indonesia.

I doubt we can get that here in the USA.  The only choices I have found are the stock tire, or a front tire on the rear, or a 140/60-14 or 140/70-14.

The 140 fits ok at the rear... I've seen those on a Super 8.

My 2013 Super8 150 came with a 120/70-14 on the front and a 120/80-14 on the rear.

That's the same tire sizes my 2012 Super8 150 came with.
