I have a 1966 Honda Dream and according to the manual it takes 3.25 X 16 tires. These are an old size style and they are not relevant to modern tire equivalents. What would be the closest tire size equivalent that I can mount on my wheels? Do you have any brand and model recommendations? I have gotten vintage size/style tires from Coker but am not satisfied with the quality.
i have just 1 thing to tell you friend. we are very proud of you guys over there and hope you return in good health. as for her car. those so called mechanics don,t know what they are talking about because changing the fluid and filter won,t rot any seals. the only way seals will go bad if you overfill the transmission then they will start to leak. tell her to take it someplace else and have the fluid and filter changed. i worked on a lot of transmissions in my day.
you can either get it measured at a good motorcycle dealer or update your rims with aftermarket (You have spokes and can not fix a flat on the road, but a mag is tubeless and can be) just some ideas.
the 16 is the rim size, so that won't have changed. 3.25 is approx 83mm in modern width.
3.25X16 is the same (or as close as is now available) as a MH90 16 or a MJ90 16 (3.25 falls between) also the same as a 80/90 or 90/90 (again 3.25 falls between) Also Coker Tyre sells tyres in inch sizes but expensive and still built with 60s technology.
