Hi all my scooter had 110 80,16 tires,

Ok let's do the math. A 110/80/16 = this

110 div by 25.4 = 4.33" X 80% =3.46" X 2 = 6.92" +10" = 22.92" OD

3.46" is the tire width, 6.92" is the height of the tire from the bead to the outside. 16.92" is the total outside diameter.

So lets see? Generally speaking if you increase the tire width the OD is bigger too so the question will be will it fit the scooter and not rub the engine crankcase?

So what sizes are there in 16" scooter tires? We know what you have. So here's a place that has some options and here is one brand that they sell in 16" scooter tires;

They list the following sizes and here is the specs;


100/80/16 = 3.14 W and 22.30 OD
110/70/16 = 3.03 W and 22.06 OD
120/80/16 = 3.77W and 23.56 OD
140/70/16 = 3.85W and 23.73 OD


So as you can see the last tire is the widest but by only by about 3/8"? Question is do you have enough clearance for the additional 0.81" on the OD of the tire?
