Wxm 1,638 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 i have bought a moped (yamaha maxter xq 125, on a y plate) and the front tyre has very little, well to be honest has no tread at all on it. so im looking on ebay for a tyre but im a tad stuck the tyre on it is a "Pirelli 130/60 - 13 m/c" the other markings are "SL36 and 53L" so im just wondering will any of these fit or be suitable?? also does the back and front have to be the same or doesnt it matter?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Front-Tyre-130-60-13-for-Yamaha-XQ125-XQ-125-Maxster-2002-04-/160763428559?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item256e3f3ecf http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vee-Rubber-Tyre-130-60-13-VRM184-Yamaha-Scooter-XQ-125-Maxter-Front-/181110988524?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item2a2b0e5eec http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pirelli-130-60-13-M-C-53L-TL-Universal-Scooter-Tyre-SL-26-/321199392616?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item4ac8f9c768 :hmm: just seems too complicated for my likings Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferreterni 29 Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 I just had to put a new back tyre on mine. Cost me 35 quid, incl fitting at a local tyre centre. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
