Tire Size Question.

[BackroadsRider_imp]

I am due another set of tires for my 2013 CB1100. Bought previous set from Chaparral but on the rear tire they don't show the exact BRIDGESTONE BT54 tire. They show 140/70V-18. The previous tire was 140/70R-18. On the front they no longer carry the 110/80R 18 but now show 110/80H-18 What does the change in the lettering mean? Tire size 101 is requested.

They are trying to sell you bias tires. You can do that but will not ride as good.
You should be able to get the oem radials if you look around.

Backroads, I'm looking at the Chaparral website right now. They have the BT-54 front in a 110/80R-18 for $110.88 (p/n 330-0370) and the BT-54 rear in a 140/70R-18 for $144.88 (p/n 330-0371). These are the OE radials. Free shipping.

Thanks a bunch. I'll order.
