PCX 150 Rear Tire On Front Wheel

Post by fun2scoot »

I searched and searched but found no existing inquiry to answer this so, sorry if I messed up.

I happen to have an extra, new, 100/90-14 rear tire for my PCX 150. I need to replace the front tire. Does anyone know if the rear will fit / work on the front wheel?
Thanks!

Look on the sidewall of the tyre.
It should have a direction indicator on it.
This tells you which wheel it can be used on and what direction to fit it.

R> Rear only
<F Front only
<F/R> Can be fitted on Front or rear

It is essential to comply with this indicator, if your rear tyre doesn't have a <F/R> indicator it must not be used on the front.

Thank you very much for sharing your wisdom gn2. The tire has only a 'rear' symbol so I'll use it appropriately, and purchase a new front. I see that Michelin has a Pilot in our size and will try that.
