Hello all! I will have to replace my tires (30 years old!) and I am surprised to see how hard it is to find an equivalent size. Original sizes are 3.00 S18 and 3.50 S18. I would like to know which brand/model/size will actually fit. I once bought scooters tires (again, over 35 years old) and I found out the hard way that the theory does not always work in the real world: they were so tight that the chain was rubing badly on the side.
Also, would a modern thread be better than the classic one I have now?

Welcome to the site. Just go to home page & click on Hondarestoration..go to tech tips.. then tire chart. Looks like you have to narrow it to your exact yr.model, 'cause there's a couple different variations.good luck & good riding.650bill

I know where tech tip link is but not Honda restoration...can you be a little more specific cuz apparently I'm overlooking it...I have the same question for CB450 (k6)...thanks. _________________ "and there's nothing wrong with me, this is how I'm suppose to be, in the land of make believe that don't believe in me"
650bill, did you mean to say that I should go to the Hondarestoration.com site and go to their go to tech tips section and from there click on the link "KG Motorcycle Tires & Accessories" and then "Click Here to Convert Inches to Metric" to find the right size?
If that is the case, I just wanted to confirmt from somebody's experience which specific models would actually fit because based solely on the "measurements" it appears that they vary from one manufacturer to another.
1976mike, I checked on http://www.dunlopmotorcycle.com/tirecatalog_tire.asp?id=37 and list their tires in metric. Do I understand you chose 110/90-18 for the front and back or did you manage to fit a 120/90-18 in the back? Would it be too much to ask what is written on your tire's walls(I find I don't have much clearance between the tire and the chain)?
Also, 1976mike, do you remember what model has the classic thread you were talking about?
I would like to thank you guys for your inputs, I am new to motorcycling and don't want to make a stupid mistake and your opinions are all very appreciated!
