Hey there Guys,

I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for tires and sizes for a cafe styled '78 CB550 I'm building.

I apologize if this has been asked before but I'm a newbie here and have never owned a 550 before.

Thanks in advance.

Bridgestone S11 Spitfires are a good and often used tire.

Thanks YOGI!

I just looked them up and there nice. Now I have to figure out what sizes to go with.

I was thinking 110s in the front and 130s in the rear. Does that sound right?

WAAAAYYYYY too wide for stock rims
