3.5" tubeless tires

[steves1977uk]

Hadn't thought of that! Ok so it'd be £83 in total for the surface post option? I'm in no hurry for them.

what is my stock rim 8 x 2.5 rim or 8 x 3 inch rim ?

About 8 x 2 and 1/4 wide.

[Burgerman]

Would prefer 8 x 4 or 8 x 4.5 wide rims!

[shirley_hkg]

4 rims 8 inch only. 3.5 wide. shipped. How much? How do I pay you?

Rims are light , but thick packing may add quite some weight . 7kg is my rough guess .

All have to wait till I received them .

Will Paypal you a REQUEST FOR MONEY then .


Espresso , 3.50-8 is really good for city ride , and it looks the prettiest .

thanks shirley - i let you work with BM and Steve - take care of them - when its all done - we talk about mines - dont want to confuse everyone - or myself dosnt take long

3.50 - 8 - is the rim for me - thats the size you like to get for me - that would be like a deep dish look - ? then i add a tire to it - i like to pick one that nice but not too much higher so maybe i can keep my fender on it

now that i am talking 8 inch again - i have to think - since i have 8 inch rims now - and they do look good also - just not tubeless - but i can fit a 3.50 8 tire on my stock rim right ?

i would still want the rims anyway - when your done with the others - but i want to work with you when your done so i know when you show me a rim or a tire - its for me and can ask a question then -

i searched all over and find them there only really - china - UK etc, - cant translate the page - so i never bothered - or rather cant anyway if i cant read it

[shirley_hkg]

This 3.50-8 set looks better and cheaper also .

yes shirley - those looks nice and are better - nice combo - but they do look big - wide - would those fit my chair - same way as my originals fit ?

or its just the picture makes it look big

keep those on bookmark - when ready to get mines - maybe those are the ones to get

how tall would this be on my chair ? 14 inch , 15 inch high ? how much wider would it be overall ?

[shirley_hkg]

Steve , I am not sure my rim's width . Most likely it is 2.5 , not 3.

Have to check when get home this evening .

[shirley_hkg]

All chinese to me!

How much in pounds, 4 wheels, total?

Rim is @ ￥115

CNY ￥= £ 0.118

It's £ 13.57 each rim .


Steve 's 10" rim is £ 10.62

[Burgerman]

Can we get 4 or 4.5 wide ones? 4 perfect... 4.5 also ok.

[shirley_hkg]

Not this style . 10" rims have 4" wide .

Only hanger rims like yours . 1/3 of the price .

[steves1977uk]

Steve , I am not sure my rim's width . Most likely it is 2.5 , not 3.

Would the 2.75 inch rim be easier to replace the tyres?

Steve

[Burgerman]

I can get 8x4 or 4.5 rims in the spoke style? Any links?

[shirley_hkg]

Messed up .

No 2.75 such width .

Mine is 2.5" wide , perfect for 3.00 - 10 tyre .

The edge of the rim and the tyre's sidewall looks on the same plane . No bulging at all .

If i can find one that looks half way decent better luck hitting the lottery good luck with the tires rims -

[steves1977uk]

Thanks expresso Tyres are like women, a good looking one is hard to come by

You can see the profile of 3.00 tyre on a 2.5'' rim .

[steves1977uk]

That looks perfect Shirley, no bulges at all! Do you accept Paypal as a payment method?

Steve

[Burgerman]

To get a flat sidewall, you always need a rim that is 1/2 narrower than the tyre. Because the rim bead is 1/4 inch wide.

nice - now can a 3.50 tire fit on the same size rim - will just bulge out a bit ? just thinking ahead for a moment which way i like to go -

[shirley_hkg]

YES . Can reimburse cost via Paypal .

[shirley_hkg]

nice - now can a 3.50 tire fit on the same size rim - will just bulge out a bit ? just thinking ahead for a moment which way i like to go -

These are my Bridgestone 3.50-8 on stock rims , like yours , before tubeless opted .

No more skinny look !!!

You've been told many times that they work excellently .

ok - it looks like alot of sidewall - the height of the tire is much higher than the stock tire ?

would i be able to get a tire 3-50 8 but keep the sidewall about the same as stock size ? to keep the fender on the chair -

[Burgerman]

A 3.00 tyre is 3 inches tall, 3 inches wide.
A 3.50 tyre is 3.5 inch wide, 3.5 inches tall. Top, and bottom. In both cases you add the 8 inch wheel.

Metric tyres are different.

A 100/80 - 8 is:
100mm wide. (4 inches)
80% of 100 tall so 80mm tall top and bottom. (3.5 inches)

A 90/80 tyre is then...
90 wide or 3.75 inches
And 80% of 90 tall... OR about 78mm or 3 and 1/8 and a bit inches.

So this last tyre would be a little wider than a a 3.50 at 3.75. And the same height (tiny fraction bigger) as a stock 3.00 tyre.

EG https://www.mobilitypitstop.com/product ... oter-tyre/

And there are others. But ideally it needs a slightly wider rim. At around 2.75 inches. It will FIT your stock rim but will look narrower and be pinched in slightly.

Or 80/80 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/80-80-x-8-Bla ... 1674257970 is 3.15 wide and slightly smaller diameter than a 3.00 tyre...

Ok so a 3.50 8 would be good - only 1/2 taller - may just fit under the fender - but when i see the pictures - they look so much taller in the pictures -

to keep the same height - i need to find a 90/80 tire like you linked too - if i find that size - it would fit my stock rim but wider bulging - but would work -

if i go tubeless with Shirleys rims - same idea

They are not common. Made just for scooters I think. So not strong construction.

these that shirley found for me - look nice - just seems alot taller than my stock tire - maybe its the pictures that give me this impression -

80 /80 look nice - and would fit under the fender so nothing to do - either on my stock rim with a tube or with tubeless rims from shirley
