Anyone have any experience or thoughts about running these two front tire sizes on our bikes?

My bike came with 100/90 and I replaced it with that the first time I needed to so I’ve been riding that size for years. I need to replace it again and I just received a 90/90. I think I mistook the conversion. (I know this is stock size.)

I’m wondering about the handling, stability, any death wobble concerns, etc. Is there a noticeable difference?

I don’t drive slow but not really fast either. I often have my wife as a pillion.
