Vespa Elettrica tyres
The Vespa Elettrica runs one fitment, 110/70-12 47P. It is staggered: a 110 section at the front and a 120 at the back, so the two can never be swapped across axles and the rear goes first.
Every fitment
| Generation | Trim | Wheel | Tyre size | Load index | Speed | Construction | Marking | Pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current | Elettrica (45 and 70 km/h) | 12in front, 11in rear | 110/70-12 front, 120/70-11 rear | 47 | P | SL | none | see plate |
Your own placard is the authority. You will find it on the the specifications section of the owner's manual. Where it disagrees with this page, it wins. Match or exceed the size, load index, speed rating and construction class it gives, and use its pressure figure rather than anything printed on the tyre.
What changes on this machine
The classic Vespa arrangement: a 12 inch front and an 11 inch rear, so nothing is interchangeable between the two ends.
The two ends even carry different speed letters, P at the front and L at the rear, 150 and 120km/h. Both are far beyond this scooter, and the figure that matters is the rear's 56 load index, 224kg.
No tyres listed against this fitment yet. Product specifications are published from each manufacturer's own data and that work is not finished for 110/70-12. Match or exceed every figure in the table above and you cannot go far wrong.

Including the manufacturer's own published figure. Neither source is standing next to your vehicle, which is why the placard still wins.
Common questions
- What size tyres does the Vespa Elettrica take?
- It runs 110/70-12. The exact fitment for your machine is on The specifications section of the owner's manual.
- Can I fit a cheaper tyre to a Vespa Elettrica?
- Only at 110/70-12 47P or better. That is the figure to hold: a tyre below the load index, the speed rating or the construction class is not a cheaper one, it is the wrong one.
