imperial tyre sizes
Johnwebley:
I fit a 4.00 wide rear because 3.50 is not available,
it increases the gearing,cured by a 1 tooth smaller gearbox sprocket,
and by running at 33psi,instead of 36 reccommended) it handles like a gem,it also increases ride height,
but handles really good,

John, if you're running a 750 K bike ('69-76) then 4.00 *18 rear is the factory specification tyre....

Back in the 1970s, the first thing we did after buying a brand new CB500 four was to change the tyres for TT100s - they made a world of difference.
