Welche Motorradreifengrößen verkaufen sich in Südostasien am besten?

If you are looking for the best selling tire sizes Southeast Asia, you need to understand that this region is fundamentally different from Europe or North America. Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, and Malaysia account for tens of millions of motorcycle sales annually, but the best selling tire sizes Southeast Asia are dramatically different because the motorcycle fleet is dominated by small-displacement underbone motorcycles and scooters rather than large sport bikes.

Why the Best Selling Tire Sizes Southeast Asia Are Different

Underbone motorcycles (step-through designs like the Honda Wave, Supra, and Yamaha Jupiter) are the backbone of transportation across the region. These bikes typically have engine displacements of 100cc–150cc and use narrow, small-diameter tires. This is why the best selling tire sizes Southeast Asia are concentrated in the smaller end of the size spectrum.

Underbone Sizes: The Core of the Market

The highest-volume underbone tire sizes are:

• 70/90R17 — standard front size for most underbone motorcycles (Honda Wave, Yamaha Jupiter)
• 80/90R17 — standard rear size for 110cc–125cc underbones
• 2.50R17 — common on older underbones and light commuters
• 2.75R17 — popular on 125cc–150cc underbones and entry-level sport bikes
• 90/80R17 — used on larger underbones and sport commuters
• 80/100R14 — common on small scooters and mopeds

These narrow 17-inch and 14-inch sizes represent a significant portion of the best selling tire sizes Southeast Asia by volume.

Scooter Tire Sizes in Southeast Asia

Scooters have been gaining market share across Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. The best selling tire sizes Southeast Asia for scooters include:

• 120/70R12 und 130/70R12 — the most common scooter combination (Honda PCX, Yamaha NMAX, Honda Vario)
• 140/70R14 — larger scooter rear
• 120/70R14 — mid-size scooter front
• 150/70R13 — some Honda and Yamaha models

Entry-Level Sport Bike Sizes

There is a growing sport bike segment in Southeast Asia, typically 150cc–400cc, and the best selling tire sizes Southeast Asia in this category are shifting toward 17-inch performance sizes:

• 110/70R17 — common front size for 150cc–250cc sport bikes
• 140/70R17 — common rear size for 150cc–250cc sport bikes (CBR150R, R15, Ninja 250)
• 120/70R17 — front for 300cc–400cc bikes
• 150/60R17 — rear for 300cc–400cc sport bikes (Ninja 400, CB400)

Price Sensitivity and Tire Construction

Southeast Asia is a highly price-sensitive market. Bias-ply tires are still dominant in the entry-level segment because they are considerably cheaper than radials. However, radial adoption is growing in the scooter premium segment. When evaluating the best selling tire sizes Southeast Asia, factor in that tubeless tires are strongly preferred for their puncture repair convenience.

Importer Recommendations for ASEAN Markets

For the Southeast Asian market, these sizes represent the highest-volume, fastest-moving products:

• 70/90R17 und 80/90R17 — underbone front and rear (universal fitment)
• 120/70R12 und 130/70R12 — scooter segment leaders
• 2.75R17 und 2.50R17 — commuter standards
• 110/70R17 und 140/70R17 — entry-level sport segment

Stock these sizes in a 60:40 ratio of bias-ply to radial construction.
