100/90 vs 110/80/18 on the front?
« on: October 26, 2015, 01:57:40 PM »
Just about to purchase one or the other to go with a stock sized 130/90/17 for the rear - most likely a pair of Avon AM26 (but may yet stay with the Sport Demons) as would like to finish off some other work whilst the wheels are off.

I ran the stock 100/90 front until now - but have read that a 110/80 will also fit. In the case of the AM26 this would be 3mm wider and 2mm smaller diam - so my question would to the potential benefit of doing so ... presumably a slightly larger contact patch (which might help with the extra braking whilst towing next year) ... at the cost of slightly slower turn-in ..?

Anyone have experience of how the two compare, and differences, other comments? I have no interest in the cosmetic difference.
