What is the 80/90-12 tire compatible with?
2 Answers
80/90-12 model tires are compatible with 80/100-12, 90/90-12, 3.0-12, 90/70-12, etc. Here is an extended introduction: Compatibility rule: 80/90 and 90/90 refer to the width of the tire. The 12 at the end indicates the tire diameter. As long as the tire diameter is the same, a slightly wider or narrower tire will not affect normal driving, so these two types of tires can be interchanged and are generally compatible, but the difference should not be too significant. If you cannot find the exact tire size, try to find a close numerical match, for example, if you need 135, look for 130, and if you need 130, look for 120.
When it comes to tire selection, 80/90-12 is a common size, typically used for motorcycle or electric vehicle wheels. Compatible models include 90/90-12, which is slightly wider but maintains a similar aspect ratio; 80/100-12, which increases height for improved comfort; and 70/90-12, which is narrower and suitable for lightweight models. My experience suggests that when changing tires, it's important to ensure the rim fits properly, measure the old tire specifications to confirm clearance, and avoid rubbing against the fender. Additionally, pay attention to the load index and speed rating, such as ensuring the replacement tire's load capacity is not lower than the original. Brands like Bridgestone or Dunlop often offer similar size options. Safety comes first—always check the vehicle manual or consult a professional before making a change. Incorrect tire selection can affect stability and safe driving, especially in wet conditions where grip may vary.
