Hi all, can anyone please tell me what is the largest tyre that can be fitted to a 3.50 x 10 wheelrim (tubeless).
Thanks in advance Pete.

Do you mean a 2.10 or 2.15 x 10 wheel rim (this is STD size) as I have looked for years for a 3.50 x10 rim so I can run a 160/60x10 tyre. If you do I would go 100/90/10 but if it's a scootrs one which is wider than a STD rim I would only go 3.50x10

Yes Mark i meant the actual rim size not the tyre size my mistake. I was going to try and fit a 100/90/10 tyre to a scootrs tubeless rim. So is that not possible then? Cheers

it is but they do foul the casings on most 100/90 tyres as they are a 2.5x10 rim

Thanks for that Mark. It's a bit of a risk then to fit a brand new 100/90/10 as i'm led to believe that the only way to get a tyre off a tubeless rim is to cut it off? Shame really as i do like the wider tyre on the back. Will spacers behind the hub cone help? Thanks Pete

Shimmed my rear Shwalbe Weatherman ~ 100/90/10 with mb spacers behind the cone ... "no prob"
