Been Around the Block
I'm putting together a cb350 café bike and it's time to get some tires. Been doing some searching and undecided on the modern sporty tire vs the traditional.
Price point: I'd like to stay under $150.
Tire size: 90/90/18 Front and 100/90/18 Rear. Inch sizes would be 3.00-18 and 3.50-18, respectively.
Running 1.85x18 rims front and rear.
I'm sure my riding style would be somewhat sporty, at times, but would the traditional tread patterns be alright? Another issue is tire size availability. Seems most modern design tread patterns start off at 100/90 for the fronts. I have put a 100/90 Shinko 712 on a rear rim and it looked and road fine, but that large on the front seems like it would be awkward.
I know there are some reasonably options out there, but I'd like to get some firsthand opinions.
Thanks
Al
