front rear tire sizes for XS400 Heritage bike

[mikestp]

I have a rear size tire of 130/90/16. The front tire is old style rating of 3.00-S18. Can I get a few recommendations for front tire size? The 3.00-18 looks too much like a scooter tire. What sizes can I go up to that would better match the rear 13/90/16? The bike is "Old school" looking... a Heritage bike with spoke wheels drum brakes. 1981

Actually a 3.00-18 is more like a 80/90-18. 3.50 is a 100/90-18, 110/90-18 is more like a 4.00-18.
