Need help finding a tire
 
I've been searching for hours and can't find a place that sells it! I'm looking to spend maybe $50 tops

It's a motorcycle tire, 3.25-16

What the hell

you may need to call around. most places i found while looking for you only sold "metric" sizes, so you may need to do the conversion from inches to mm/cm

Linking to generic tire sites won't help, I saw all those on my first google search.

try ironpony.com or call the guys at www.legendmcs.com its a local shop called american legend your better off calling instead of looking on the website for it. Most of the stuff they sell isn't on the site, they can get pretty much anything

Is this a radial or a bias ply tire, Jon?

Show me, I didn't see any.

Speed rating can be low, it only goes 45 mph. It's for my moped.

It has an inner tube.

if you convert 3.25" to mm, you get ~80. so thus...

i'm not going to do all the leg work man. i do know each site had a 3.25" - 16 (or mm conversion) tire.



the only other thing I noticed when looking this up for you yesterday is that the only other ones that I found were in China, but i dont think you wanted to order from china or would trust the tire.

Wow thanks, I did find some in mm but they weren't just 80-16, they were other weird ---- like 80/120-16. I could not for the life of me find an 80/80-16, thanks again.

My moped is weird, instead of saying 3.25-16 is says "3.1/4-16" :S

Re: Need help finding a tire
 
sounds like u might already have chinese tires on that beast. Maybe they make the conversion for us americans cuz we don't know numbers. Yall know asians are the ---- with math. I'm surprised it doesn't say 3 & 4/16 - 16 8)
