want to see a 110 tire on an xs

[corey]

I like that look alot. Figures I just bought a stock size from JCW. I'm going to try to exchange it...

...or if anyone wants a brandnew stock type tire let me know.

I'd have to say it handles a little better.When I got my bike it had a stock 100
on it,it even looked new.But it was 26 years old.It was hard and made handling feel a little greasy.So my 110 handles way better ,however I,m sure a new 100
would have been better than I had.
On a side note,my friend bought an Xs last summer.His is same year and model as mine and he installed a 100.His does not handle as well as mine.But,he bought a different brand tire and I think it may have been a chinese tire.
So long story short,I couldnt say for sure since I have not compared two equal tires in the same condition with only size being the difference on my bike.
Hope this doesnt confuse you further, I just want to be as honest as possible.

I just ordered a set of Bridgestone S11's yesterday, and went with the 110 up front. Along with the bigger tire comes a higher load rating. The 100's are rated at 507 pounds while the 110's are rated at 584 on that particluar tire.

Had the new tires mounted and computer balanced yesterday. With the rear tire off, and the calipers removed I jacked the front end up high enough to roll the 110 under the front fender. Plenty of clearance all the way around the tire after reassembly on my '79F. I definitely feel the difference up front, but I won't really know how they affect handling 'till I get 'em scuffed up good. Not a good idea to try and scrape your footpegs with brand new tires - good way to go for a butt slide - I hate when that happens.
