Tire size conversion.
« on: July 31, 2009, 06:05:41 AM »
I have a Suzuki T20 that I'm tire shopping for.

The manufacturer calls for 2.75X18 front & 3.00X18 rear.

I'm looking at the conversion chart at http://www.webbikeworld.com/Motorcycle-tires/tire-data.htm, and need some clarification.

First, there isn't a listing for 3.00X18 rear. So, if I look at the table for fronts. Would I be looking for 80/90 front, and 90/90 rear? Mathematically, I'm looking for 70 mm & 76 mm.

Thanks in advance.

Bump-

This is very useful and should be easier to find.
