Hello all,
I've been riding for about 25 years now and just recently picked up a 2004 Rebel for my wife to cut her teeth on. I'm trying to find the right tire size for the front of the bike. What converts over from 3.00-18? I'm looking at motorcycle superstore and all the sizes are in the metric format I believe. Looking forward to helping out here on the site when I can too. Thanks.
Jeff

90/90x18. Might have a hard time finding that size. Some people have had success using a 100/90x18.
Welcome!

Welcome to the forum! Jakewilson.com has had the best prices when I was shopping for tires. Also usually have a 10% or larger discount code you can enter on your order. Google it or ask a rep when you call or chat.

Welcome aboard!
Yes, as Cagie said the direct metric is the 90/90-18
I did manage a 100/90-18 but the fender clearance is tight. The fender has to be in just the right spot but it does work.
