Hello everyone,
I just recently picked up a 73 cb100 and have been trying to get it up to par. When I got the bike it was in pretty bad shape. The tank was completely rusted inside, all the plastic and rubber was shot, and the motor was seased. Iv scene rebuilt the motor and got it going with the help of a friend and I'm currently repainting the frame.
My question is about tires. Iv tried looking this up and have looked at several conversion charts but mi still confused. My bike has a 2.50-18” front tire, and a 3.00-17” back. Now I may be just not looking hard enough but for the life of me I can't find a set of matching front and back tires in those sizes. I did run into some IRC rs310 tires but the back tire has me worried, its a 110/90. Will this fit my bike?

And if not, what is my alternatives? Am I stuck using a universal front/back moped tire? And if that’s the case, will it matter that I have a 90/90/18 front and a 90/90/17 rear?
Unfortunately as you can see, I'm totally new to the subject of motorcycle tires and it doesn’t help that I have some very small tires lol. Any advice would be great! thanks
