Needed one rear tire ended up upgrading both. If you could see me putting these tires on…many bent spoons, baby powder, soapy water, and a 10 min bath in hot water…I figured it out and they ride nice!

Ride and look great on a QT50

With the right tools (tire bead cream, tube tamer, tire irons) a noob like me got it done. I got 2 front tires but I don't think it makes a difference. My rear wheel is missing spokes, which is why the tire never set perfectly (bead line is a little wonky) but that's on me. I've ridden 500+ miles without an issue so far.
On a QT50, you will have to sand/file down some material on your fender stays for these to fit/not rub. For fender bolts, you may want to replace with very low profile ones or use washers. Lastly, depending on the mods you've done, the rear brake cable MAY rub on the tire if there is nothing holding it in place (e.g. stock airbox). It might just be my bike since I'm not using the original rear washer, but to stop it from rubbing on the tire, I used computer cable velcro to tie it to the driveshaft.
My qt50 look more aggressive, they perform great, and I think they add a negligible amount of speed, since they are quite phatter than stock. Get to rippin!

Great Tires!

Fit my Suzuki Fa50 perfectly. These tires are really good quality, ride smooth, and are so much better than the stock Suzuki tires! The tubes and rims strips that come with the tires are great too! I had to adjust the fender metal supports and bend them out slightly so they wouldn't rub on the tires, but other than that you should be able to keep your fenders on your Fa50.
One thing I don't like about these tires though is they are pretty stiff and that makes it difficult to get them on 14 inch rims easily. But once you do you shouldn't have to replace these tires for a very long time! I suggest heating the tires with a blow dryer or leaving them in the sun for an hour to make them easier to install.
