roughly the same, 80/110 has less side wall and more tread dome for the same width, basically they are kinda low profile tyres. 80/ good on front and back or just front with a 90/ rear, if you do a 90/ fr + 80/ bk the bike will handle like a pig with thin wheels, not so much a problem on modern bikes as they are quite wide. hope that helps mate, cheers slade ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fletchb" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "slade" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: "Multiple recipients of list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, January 31, 2004 9:04 PM Subject: Re: Metric tire recommendations for 400F ?
