What models are compatible with 130/60-10?

130/60-10 tires are compatible with 120/70-10 tires. Below is relevant information about tires: Functions of tires: mainly include dry grip, hydroplaning resistance, providing comfort, reducing driving noise, impact resistance, wet grip, load-bearing capacity, handling performance, average wear, and mileage. Tire cross-sectional structure: Generally, it can be divided into four parts: tread, shoulder, sidewall, and bead. Each part has its own function. The tread mainly contacts the ground, the shoulder and sidewall provide support, and the bead contacts the rim to provide sealing. Internal composition of tires: The interior of the tire is composed of multiple layers of different materials, including tread pattern, overlay, steel belt layer, stress-absorbing rubber strip, carcass ply layer, and inner liner.
Tire model interchangeability mainly depends on having similar rim size and width. For example, the specification 130/60-10 refers to a 10-inch rim, 130mm width, and a 60% aspect ratio. Universal models typically share the same rim diameter, such as 120/70-10 or 140/60-10. A width difference of around 10mm is usually not a big issue, and if the aspect ratio is similar, these sizes can fit most scooters or small motorcycles. However, I must remind you to measure the original tire clearance before changing tires to ensure the new tire won't rub against the body or affect braking performance. Safety-wise, slight changes in tire size may impact stability, especially reducing grip at high speeds, so don't decide entirely on your own—refer to the vehicle manual or consult a professional mechanic for advice. Additionally, some newer models have stricter tire specifications, so it's advisable to prioritize manufacturer-recommended alternatives to avoid unnecessary repair costs for other issues.
