Ravi piaggio storm 125 vs honda cg125 dlx

[gull_s_777]

18 is your tyre diameter ... you have to stick with it...
you can't use a 17 tyre if your rim is 18 size....
but the first number (3.50 or 90/90) is the tyre size (width,height) , and you can choose whatever size you like
delux comes with 90/90 18, if you are looking for upgrade you can check 100/90 18 which will be little wider. Some pakwheelers are using dunlop 100/90 18 on their GS150 and are pretty satisfied with it.

[gull_s_777]

yea it comes with a Wide Rim and 300-18 wide tyre, which is also used by deluxe.

vicky bro.. piaggio comes with 3.50-18 tyre... i just checked.

[Silver_Knife]

Explanation Chart .... To help you understand

[Silver_Knife]

Piaggio comes with 110/90-18 or 3.500 tyre size..

Deluxe comes with 90/90-18 .. Although both bikes have 18" rim size.. But the difference is only the width of tyre..

Piaggio's tyre has more width as compared to Deluxe's tyre..

And believe me finding tube for 3.500 is a nightmare.. I found it after a struggle.. Original Butyl tube Indonesian Made.. Costed me 480rs..

[vickytulla]

Yes My bad, Sorry, yes Paiggo has more wide tyre the CG Deluxe an amjad635 yes you can put a 90/90 or even 100/110 its looks really sick in Deluxe I have seen it in lahore .. gives a real heavy shape to bike... do try it.

S_k you just found a very informative chart.. because i always remained confuse thanx man.

vicky bro.. piaggio comes with 3.50-18 tyre... i just checked.

[amjad635]

So Ravi comes pre-installed with 110/90 tyre

Today went to local motorcycle market here @ my city
Met with some famous motorcycle dealers all said
yes 3.00 18 is deluxe tyre size & 3.00 17 is CG tyre size
well 17,18 refers to diameter of rim ok i understand & believe this
but width of deluxe tyre size quite clearly bigger than CG so still i am confused
and i doubt 3.00 is equal to 90/90 ???
So i think the tyre i was getting Ghauri 3.00 18 is not proper deluxe tyre
I still feel that 3.00 18 is not accurate deluxe tyre size
damn confused (A) & thats why have cancelled replacing tyre

vicky bro 90/90 service tyre is already company installed
i am personally against & don't like replacing stock tyre with big tyres
so thats why confused searching for perfect size tyre not bigger & not smaller {perfect 90/90

silver_knife bro Are they changing tyre size time to time?
or since its launch its coming with 110/90 tyre

because in these below pics the tyre of piaggio seems smaller to me

[vickytulla]

the Service tyre available in market is actually 'Exact' 300-18 the Orignal Deluxe tyre which is called 90/90-18 in metic system as I see it in SK shared chart.

Recently SK asked me to send a tube for paiggo from lahore i explored alot and came to know that 3.25-18 is the orignal Paiggo tube and is not availble in market any more because Service Tyres Company is not making it and biggest it is making is 300-18 which is for deluxe so I had to purchase a deluxe tube for him and send him.

Paiggo Tyre and Tube which were used to be available in Service brand are no more, and users of strom have no choice to use deluxe trye/tube or to buy branded Dunlop tyre/tube in 110/100-18 category.

Yea! I also seen these kitty tyres in paiggos on raod some time and I thought why the bike owner is using this ... but if on showrooms it is like this, then most likely its the showroom owners who are replacing genuine tyre of paiggo, becuase even 100/100 - 18 is 3200Rs as junaidakhter bhai told in his thread of CD 175 modification, and this 2.75-18 is only for 14~1600Rs...

this is orignal which I got in my bike and still if many buyer like this guy got orignal .. i think this bike belongs to our PW frien 'ruk_design' ..

you doubt right...
90/90 is measurement in milimeters. while 3.00 is in inches
and 90mm=3.54 inches
Basically a 90/90 tyre is 90mm wide and 81mm high.
But 3.00 number shows only width, this unit system gives no info about height...

3.00-18 is not same as 90/90-18.
If we talk in inches,
3.00-18 is 3 inch wide and most probably 3 inch high
90/90-18 is 3.54 inch wide and 3.18 inch high

Now in that chart , why these two are considered same... i think it is to maintain the height. A 90/90 tyre will be as wide as a 3.50 tyre but only as high as about 3.00 tyre.

You enlighted me bro! I was more confused then amjad

so from your explaination what I am understanding is that paigo tyre is wide then delux but has the same 3 inch hieght right ?

3.00-18 is not same as 90/90-18.

3.00-18 is 3 inch wide and most probably 3 inch high

Ok , did a bit more reading and this is what i got...
piaggio tyre is old inch based design... 3.50-18, in old inch based designs , tyre width and height are same, so Piaggio has the tyre which is 3.50 inch wide and 3.50 inch high.
While delux 90/90-18 tyre is 3.54 inch wide and 3.18 inch high as i mentioned above.
So both are about same width, but delux tyre is a bit low on sidewall height. Now this might make you wonder what to choose if you want a new metric based tyre and don't want to loose height also.
First option is straight forward , get a 100/90-18 tyre. It will be 3.93 inch wide and 3.54 inch high.
If its too wide , and you want slimmer yet higher sidewall tyre then you can try to find a 90/100-18 tyre which should be same as piaggio tyre , aka 3.54 inch wide and 3.54 inch high , but i am not sure this is easily available or not.

[vickytulla]

100/90-18 will be the best bet ... but right now my stock tyre is working fine, may be in near future when it rips apart will think to put a 100/90-18 :D

after reading these details Amjad will get more confused and jump into river ... .. by the way not going to change the tyre until it rips apart ** THINKING PAKISTANI ** then after that I will think which one to install ...

ka 3.54 inch wide and 3.54 inch high

Finding tube is a nightmare.. Not easily available

[gull_s_777]

:D:D:D
i think 90/90-18 is perfect for delux, its just a 125cc after all, bigger tyre will look cool but will increase burden on engine and will result in reduced mileage (but might also result in slightly more top speed due to increased height )

Yaar yeh tyre sizes ne dimaag ghumaa diya do din se (A)............
aur aaj vicky bhai aap bhi en tyroo ke chakar mein parh gaye

thanks to all fellows & Gull sahab for explaining :)
So Gull bro means 3.00 18 & 90/90 18 has same height too
but in width 90/90 would be wider as @ shop shop waala
compared it with 90/90 it was exactly same in diameter or
it was exactly round as 90/90 tyre but as i had been understanding while purchasing
3.00 18 was looking definitely looking thin to me 90/90 was looking wider
and that was probably the reason which confused me and i thought this was CG tyre
