Shinko 244 offset sized or matched sizes?

[SailorPoon69]

Hi, im getting a set of shinko 244 for my scooter and ive read several posts that seem to suggest that i should get 2.5x17 in the front and 3.0 in the rear for no modifications to my fenders. Am i understanding this correctly or am I supposed to match the front and rear sizes? also can anyone recommend tube sizes for these tires? thanks

Run both 3.0’s, drill new fender holes right below the oem holes if you need to, but try it first. I used the stock tubes 2 years ago, still fine.

Inner tubes usually list which tire sizes they're suitable for. It's often a range, so some are listed as fitting both 2.50x17 and 3.00x17 tires. The OEM tubes cover that range of tire sizes. Honda P/N: 42712-K2E-T02
Plenty of other options though if you search for 2.50x17 or 3.00x17 tubes wherever you buy your motorcycle parts from.

I wish they made 244’s in 2.75 I would run that on the front. Thinking if running Kendra 272 on the front given it comes in 2.75. Something I need to get on with. These OEM tires do not like sand at all, and we have a. Fair bit of it here in Florida

I haven't run it, but look up the Vee Rubber VRM-022 which comes in 2.75-17 and can be purchased through some USA tire shops online. Tread pattern looks similar to the Shinko 244.
