HELP IN MAKING A SELECTION:

TIRES AND TUBES ABOVE ARE LISTED FROM SMALLER TO LARGER AS YOU SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE USING OUTSIDE DIAMETER MEASUREMENTS.
THE SMALLEST PNEUMATIC TIRE OR TUBE WE SELL IS 6 INCHES IN DIAMETER (OUTSIDE) TO THE LARGEST 16 INCH DIAMETER (OUTSIDE) TIRE OR TUBE.

To find the size of your tire look on the side first for the printed size. All pneumatic tires are usually printed with the entire tire Diameter and Width information in either standard or metric measure as the size information. We list our tires from the smaller diameter and rim size at the top of this page and becoming larger as you scroll down the page. Many scooters have a wheel rim diameter of 4 inches (3 3/4") and it may not be reflected in the size. If your tire says it is 200 X 50 in metric size then this is the same as an 8" outside diameter by 2" width tire (25mm = 1 inch) with a 4 inch approximate diameter hole for the rim. The inner tube is also the same physical and printed size. In some cases a tire might be listed for example as a 8 inch (outside) diameter, 2.80-4 or 2.50-4 width, or 2.80/2.50-4 - width of the tire and a 4 inch diameter rim hole (meaning the rim can accept widths of either 2.8 or 2.5 inches), or the tire or tube will only show the 2.80-4 or 2.50-4 on the side of the tire and not the outside diameter of the tire or tube. If these sizes further state it is a 9 or 10 inch tire or tube then this is the outside diameter of the tire or tube, usually rounded off to the nearest inch measurement. The tread width in inches is the 2.50 or 2.80, and the 4 is approximately the diameter of the hole for the rim. Note that 8 1/2" x 2 Tires utilize larger 4" rims (physically 4 1/2") than 8" 200x50 tires with 4" rims (physically 3 3/4")! On the other hand a 3.00-9 Tire size indicates the width is 3 inches with a rim size of 9 in diameter. A 3.00-10 Tire indicates a width of 3 inches with a rim size of 10 in diameter. The tire outside diameter is not given! The rim size is the size of the hole in the center of the tire at 9 or 10 inches rounded off. The 16 inch tires are actually 16 inches in outside diameter for a 12 inch rim. Popular widths are 2.5 and 3.0 inches. In some cases we list the actual physical sizes for the tire, tube, or wheels in the descriptions for your information and comparison, too. With this comparative information you should not make a mistake in ordering the correct size. Some tires are listed with the Scooter brand or make and model to also help your research.

CHANGING A STANDARD RIM TIRE AND TUBE

Changing a tireIn this article we will be using a standard 12 1/2 inch wheel where the rim is a single piece as opposed to a split rim in which the two halves are held together by 3 or 4 screws and nuts.

Changing a tireSingle piece rims are more like automotive rims where the tire is pulled onto the rim by stretching over the rim's lip. Removal is done by using a tool to get the stretch and removal started. Various tools can work like those shown as long as the tool tip is blunt. A pair of pliers with the arch of the handle works great to get under the tire bead after the tube has been deflated and pull it up and over the edge of the rim. Once done a second tool can be inserted to hold the tire's bead over the rim's edge.

Changing a tireThe pliers is then moved to a second close point to continue the process.

Changing a tireWith the outside of the tire now over the rim the tube can be pulled from the rim. Now with the tube removed turn the wheel over and push the tire the rest of the way off the rim if you are replacing the tire and tube.


Changing a tire


Changing a tireInstalling a new tire and tube begins by placing the tire as much on the rim as possible with both beads of the tire inside the rim at the bottom as you stretch the tire partially onto the rim at the top.

Changing a tireTurn the wheel over and pull the tire bead onto the rim.

Changing a tirePlace the partially inflated innertube inside the tire on the rim and push the tire back onto the bottom of the rim so both beads are inside the rim. Be sure the tube is on the rim as much as possible out of the way of the remainder of the tire as it stretches onto the rim at the top.

Changing a tireUse your thumbs to press the remainder of the tire the rest of the way onto the rim. If you must use a tool such as a pair of pliers be careful not to pinch a hole in the innertube between the tool and the rim. This is easy to do. Once the tire is in place inflate the tube and check for leaks.

CHANGING A SPLIT RIM TIRE AND TUBE

Changing a split rim tire and/or tube is quite simple. Deflate the innertube. With the wheel removed you simply unscrew the allen head screws in the center of the wheel so the two halves separate. Remove the innertube from the tire and replace it with a new one that is partially inflated. Partial inflation keeps the tube from being pinched in between the two halves of the rim while you reassemble and tighten the halves back together. Reinflate the innertube and check for leaks.
