    Stupid Tire Question for the Day

    The bike is an 82 1100E. Current front tire is a 100/90. I am about to replace the BT45's with Avon AM26's and am wondering if I should stick with the 100/90 front or go to a 90/90 for possibly faster/lighter handling?


    Thanks,
    Mark

      I would want the bigger tire for better braking when the moose jumps in front of you....

          I like the Pirelli Sport Demons.

          "Shoot A Moose" - wasn't that Sarah Palin's first album?

              On that size bike, I would stick with the 100.
