80 rear series tire with 90 front?

Repeater · Post by **Repeater** » Sat Jul 26, 2014 8:35 am

Not sure if I just made a royal mistake with this order. I just bought a couple of tires 110/80 18 rear and 100/90 19 front. The front looks dramatically taller. I know it is a 19" but it looks so much taller. I didn't expect suck a difference.

I'm trying to figure out how bad this is going to affect handling. I have the tires and am looking at them, but can't decide. Whether to wing it and have them mounted or send them back for a set with that has the same side wall.

Anyone running what I am proposing?

Which bike have you got them on and do you have alloy or spoke wheels?

T500 and spoke.

All the spoke rim sizes I can find are imperial so it would be 3.25x19 front and a 400x18 rear. 100.90 is 4 inch wide with an aspect ratio of .8 and the rear you have is almost 4 and a half inch wide with an aspect ratio of .9. I'm not certain that those you have aren't a tad wide.
The 500 has the same size tyres as my 550 and I fitted Dunlop Streetsmart Arrowmax tyres which are very good.
Others may comment differently.

Big download, but every bike ever is listed - so it might be helpful to others too.

I sent the Kendas back and ordered some Conti Go's.

Thanks for the replies. Now I have to find some shoes.
