How big of an issue would it be going from a 100/90-19 on the front to a 110/90-19? Will it fit? Any handling issues?

A guy has one for sale for $30, brand new here is why I need to know.


Thanks!

110 metric on the front didn't fit on my 750. The tire rubbed the fender at about 50 mph.:laugh:

Be sure to check the date code on any new tire. I bought a set of tires from CycleGear a couple of years ago. Coincidentally, a date code topic came up right after purchasing them, so I checked the date: the "new" tires were already 5 years old, so I took them back. I knew tires had a date of manufacture, but it didn't occur to me that a cycle place would sell old new tires.
