I know this has been covered in the past, but my search of the site was unsuccessful!

My Yamaha XJ650/Velorex has a rear tire size 130/90 - 16. Is there a car tire size that I can mount on the stock rim?

Thanks for any and all assistance.

Larry

You might check dimensions on the 5.00x16 or 5.50x16.

Does anyone know the metric equivalent for 5.00x16 or 5.50x16 or can recommend a specific band?

Thanks. Larry

You can find tire calculator online. Be careful automotive tire 5.50 x 16 is lot biger then motorcycle 130/90-16. I tried to find automotive tire replacement for 130/90-16 but fail. Good luck.

1" = 25.4mm. 130mm = 5.12". 5" = 127mm.
