    110/90 vs MM90 (yet another tire question)

    Front tire specification in Suzuki manaul for my bike is 110/90-19, which I understand would be MN90-19.

    I have an Elite 3 on rear.

    The only 19inch front Elite 3 is an MM90-19 which would be a 100/90-19.

    How much should I be concerned about that 10mm difference?

    The narrower tire would tend to turn easier, almost like power steering, but the thing that would concern me would be the weight rating.
    Make sure that the E3 will carry the amount of weight that is recommended for the bike.
    Chances are that it will, because newer tires are rated a bit higher for a particular size compared to older tires.

    I hope you enjoy the E3s. I had three sets of them on my Wing. The only reason I switched was that I got tired of the noise. Mostly the rear, but both tires would "sawtooth" the tread, making them sound like monster mudder tires whenever the bike was not strictly vertical.
