Will these work on my 10 inch mambas?

These tyres are to suit Vespa's and Lambrettas (`scooters)

[Mini_Magic]

But they're not tyres, they're just plastic bits that go over the tyres to give the white wall look.

If they're for 10" wheels then I can't see why they wouldn't fit.

to be honest at that price you may as well order a set and see if it works. Its not alot to loose. As said I cant see why it wouldn't anyway.

hi i saw them as want a set for my car my brother said he know a place that does them but didn't tell me the name of it, been looking up white wall tyre paint, dunno if it is any good but might get some and see, use it on old tyres first so i don't ruin mine,
let me know how it goes if you decide to go with them please
thanks

Just paint the walls white with spray paint.... it will look awesome! TRUST ME!

I've tried painting my tyres before and it looked terrible, all the paint was flaking off and went yellow in a week.

This is the proper way to do it.

I've never seen white in the tyre when they've been gashed open?(which happens alot where i work!) perhaps they're different accross the pond?

I wouldnt bother with the white wall inserts,they dont work on scooters.Ive just thrown a set away not worth the hassle and wont work with tubeless tyres!

i have got some of those scooter faps in my shed .. they will fit the mini rim and look great !!!

[flamenco]

I have fitted a set of 10 inch whitewall inserts for vespas...obviously they are 10 inch diameter so they fit perfectly in the mini




And this is another one from a local club, with similar whitewalls.

i have new tyres so don't feel like doing that and then not have the white in there, so i might just get some and see how they go but probably wait awhile, i guess you have to get the fitted when you have the tyres done?

i think the bloke in the video says that there is only a beand of white if it has white lettering or a small white wall from standard. also that looks like a very dangerous procedure.

[mrbridger]

Don't do it mate, i fitted some to my 12" yokos a few years ago and they lasted about two journeys. The problem is that the front tyres twist and contort with normal steering and turning and these inserts just tear up in no time.

/\ What he said. /\

There was a Mini round my way that had some quite badly scared side walls due to the white wall inserts cracking and trying to cut into the tyre.
