Tire Madness: Need Check.

Okay, so 1982 Maxim XS400 resto project. I was in the process of buying new rubber, these are the sizes I got:

Front: 3.00 S19
Rear: 130/90/16

Does this mean I'm running a 19" rim front and a 16" rear? Is that normal or am I out to lunch here?

Cheers,
Greggy

Hey Spectra,

Ya man, that is what the bike has on it currently. If its okay to ride with those sizes I would just like to roll with it ( no pun intended) also, if it matters: single disc front, drum rear.

Yes but was that the size you have on it ? According to https://www.bikez.com/motorcycles/yamaha_xs_400_1982.php it should be 18s both front and rear. But I do know my 81 had a 16 rear on it. My 78 has 18s both front and rear.
