Another tire question

[fantasy2c]

I know the front can be fitted with a somewhat larger tire without modification but was curious if a 100/90-14(same as rear tire) could be used as well without modification. It's just enough more money to where I can get free shipping on an order and I think would look nice being evened out same as the rear. Does anybody know? I didn't see anything pertaining to this tire size on the front.

go to a cycle shop in town, see if they have a tire of that size that they would let you use to check the fit. Those shops do a lot of tire mounting. You never know what they have lurking in a corner somewhere.

Cycle shop wants 25 bucks just for the front tire and 100 for the rear. Half that if I take rims off bike myself that's with me bringing in my own tiresf :/

I had a rear tire recently mounted for 20$. I removed the tire--very easy with the PCX--and brought it to the shop. I called a few places before I found somebody who would do it for 20$. The rest of them wanted 40. Where does your guy get 100$? Does he know what kind of bike he will be dealing with?

Might be including removal. That's a bit of a process.

They've worked on them there.. I didn't see how it was 100 dollars for the rear... I'm going to assume 20 min tops to take it off the bike by quickly looking at it. Just gonna order stock size since nobody seems to know it the stock rear size will work on the front without modification and because shipping is only 9 bucks.. I was guessing it was going to be double that. There's another shop I forgot about I'll probably go to that I didn't call.. Probably do both for 20 bucks or less

Got front and rear stock sized city grips for just under 100 on bike bandits plus 8.95 shipping(like a dollar and a half short for free shipping) .. Best deal I saw online for anyone ready to replace with these btw

I just don't get this bigger tire idea.

I wanted to try and even out the look of the bike by having the same sized tires in front and back instead of the skinny one up front

Try Revzilla.com for tires. They are less expensive than most of the other sites I have checked.

Probably should have. Pretty similar price and ik their shipping is supurb

Anyone know what tire size on a 13 inch rim would equate to the same tire outer dimension of the standard 14 inch pcx rim. Looking to change to 13 inch rim but keep same outer dimension ????
