First off, these things are a bear to mount. It's totally doable, but you'll likely be better off taking them to a local shop and paying the 50 bucks to get the set mounted.
These work on a QT50 with slight modifications. You've got to use a razor knife, or an angle grinder, and remove the tread blocks from the right and left side of the front tire, and the same for the left side of the rear tire.
You'll also have the pleasure of permanently removing the god awful fenders Yamaha put on the QT.
If you want to keep a stock looking bike, these are not for you. If you want a dirt-ped ripper, than these are right up your alley!
They make my QT's look mean as all hell! BADASS!!!

Freaking awesome, but fitment issues

Treats isn't joking when they say measure first. Honda Express NC50, genuinely thought they would fit. Front tire I won't have an issue with (obviously the fender is going bye-bye), but the rear tire will absolutely not fit without extensive modification of something.
Thing is, I love the way they make the express look so much I will figure out a way to make these work come hell or high water. I'll post my solution as soon as I find it.
Edit: front tire does not fit. My idea is to shave off the side tread blocks, will update when complete.
2nd edit: you will have to shave almost the whole side block on the left side (sitting on the bike) for the rear and both sides for the front. Wood block to hold axle + Vise + Angle grinder seemed to work for me.
These things are comfy as hell! More than makes up for the lack of font suspension (I have to rebuild forks).

Mine s getting a little worn now but I have been running a set of these on the Runaway Dirtped for over two years now. I ride 95% road but enjoy curb hopping, alley sweeping, and ditch rallying and these Shinkos have been excellent through it all. No mud tire, but excellent on gravel, hard packed dirt, grass, etc. Still grip pavement consistently and roll decently fast. Heavy, and if you're not good with tires installation may be challenging, but I had no trouble with these. Kiss your stock fenders goodbye.
