tire size

Post by flyingzonker »

Re: Back tire size for PCX? I bought a tire online with this rating stamped on the side: 130/70-12. This was advertised as a tire that would work with the back end of a PCX. Yes?

I don’t know what to “make of that“… All I know is a 2013 PCX takes a 14 inch tire:

well, I have seen tires on the back ends of PCX's with 16 stamped on the sides, and some with 14. So I am supposing that that part of the rating indicates rim size, at least not exclusively.

If you have seen 16 and 14, why are you showing 12? lol You might not know how to read tire sizes. ha ha ha Dont buy from ebay. Buy from a site that knows what bike you are talking about like partzilla or revzilla.

Its a 14" wheel. You can go up to a 140/70-14 rear.
