What models are compatible with 2.75-14 tires?
2 Answers
2.75-14 tires are interchangeable with motorcycle tires of the 3.00-10 model. Below are the detailed explanations: Tire Classification: Tires can be roughly categorized into 8 types based on vehicle type. Specifically: PC—Passenger Car Tires; LT—Light Truck Tires; TB—Truck and Bus Tires; AG—Agricultural Vehicle Tires; OTR—Off-the-Road Tires; ID—Industrial Vehicle Tires; AC—Aircraft Tires; MC—Motorcycle Tires. Tire Model: Most tire model markings appear as: 215/70R15. The meanings of these numbers are as follows: 215 indicates the tire section width in mm, generally ranging between 145–285mm with intervals of 10mm; 70 is the aspect ratio, representing the ratio of the tire sidewall height to the tire section width, where 70 stands for 70%. Generally, tire aspect ratios range between 30%–80%.
As a long-time motorcycle mechanic, I know that a 2.75-14 tire refers to a width of 2.75 inches and a rim diameter of 14 inches, mainly used on scooters or light motorcycles. There are many universal models, such as 70/90-14, which means a width ratio of 70% and a height ratio of 90%. These two sizes are close and can be interchanged. Other common compatible sizes include 80/90-14 and 90/90-14. However, it's important to ensure the rim width matches the original vehicle standard. If the rim is too wide or narrow, the new tire may not fit securely and could wobble. Additionally, the load index and speed rating must be consistent. The original vehicle's load index is usually around 60, and switching to a lower load index tire poses significant safety risks. I recommend checking the recommended specifications in the vehicle manual or consulting a professional shop. Don't skimp on this, as tire issues directly affect braking performance. Some models, like the Yamaha YZ125, use this size, and for modifications, opting for reputable brands like Michelin ensures better quality and durability.
