I should have said, one size wider.

Or better yet. I want to match the sizes that are coming stock on the 2018. So I believe it is 100/80/14 and 120/70/14? I am seeing these 2018's (of course more now that I want the tyres) all over town and they look great. I personally want it for other reasons, but the look is an added benefit.

I got a 2018 french model, and the new size is 100-80-14 and 120-70-14 rear.

It is a significant size change from the previous model and the tires looks way bigger. (i owned a 2017 too)

I can confirm the handling is better in corners. (and ABS is a huge improvement)

But the rims are way wider or the new model, especially the rear one.
Front goes from 1.85 to 2.15 and rear from 2.15 to 3.50 !

I think the new size tires can fit on the older rims but maybe the tires will have a more "round shape" and will appear narrower than the stock 2018 model.

Interesting news. I may need to rethink this i f the rims are wider. May not work out well... Where did you get the rim sizes from?

I am betting that the new size tires will fit the older model PCX. However, finding them may be a bit of a challenge, especially since many manufacturers have not ramped up production of the new sizes yet. Still, I would love to be able to try the new sizes on my bike.

How much do you want to bet? Let's just bet my money back if they don't fit.

Never a good idea to have a bet with only your money.

Well I've managed to put bigger size tyres on my 2015 UK PCX and went
Front 90/100/14 up to 120/70/14
Rear 100/100/14 up to 140/70/14
Tiny packers/distances on air filter box and rear hugger and looks lovely and handles even better
