Rear Tire to Fit Country 500

Postby roloscotusa » Sat Mar 15, 2014 7:51 pm

I recently replaced the tires on my MZ 500 Country. I did not want to use dual-sport tires because I am not going to use the bike off road so I order a set of road tires from Vee Rubber. They were about the only ones that make a 16 120/90 tire. The only problem is that they are a little wide and rub against the chain rubber boot.

Does anyone have any recommendations tires that might fit the MZ Country?

110 size in usa all seem to be front tires
110/? x 16 rear are not stocked in usa
a 110 rear is even hard to find for a scooter
