Matching A Tire Size

[OUCWBOY]

what does a 100/100x18 relate to in the "Old" Tire size?  I don't know about anyone else, but putting anything bigger than a 3.50 on the rear of a 100cc or 125cc is way too much tire for those bikes.

Dwight,

you are probably correct, then they have to be Metzelers,
i don't have the bike at home, it is on loan to Ed Youngblood at his Vintage Museum in Newburg, NY.
i was almost certain i put new MT16's on it but i must be wrong,
i won't get the bike back until August so confirm,

thanks for the correction,

regards,
Mike

Mike, those don't look like MT16s. MT16s also don't come in 100/100X18.

here is a shot of my 71 S/T with the MT16's
100/100-18 just barely rubs the chain guard, i shaved a fraction off the very side knobs and it was free and clear,
Great tires !!!!

KEITH ,some later (74) rears say M1 or have no marking or say Sixday. For fronts; Gel D on a early tire that I have, or say motocross or have no markings in my inventory of penton tires.
