Imperial to Metric Conversion (Tires)

I have a Lexmoto Assault with nobbly CST front tires as standard.

It came with 3.00 17 tires but i want to replace them for road tires. There is a poor selection of tires in the 3.00 17 size.

What metric size can i convert to?

From what I see i need either 90/90/17 or 110/80/17

Could do with a bit of expert advice though.

Thanks,

Thanks for taking your time to add nothing to my query.

It never ceases to amaze me how prosaic, pedestrian, unimaginative people can persistently pontificate about classical grammatical structure as though it's fucking rocket science. These must be the same people who hate Picasso, because he couldn't keep the paint inside the lines and the colors never matched the numbers.

Anyway back to my original query about tires / tyres.

90/90 is the direct replacement

There are many thousands of BCF members, the overwhelming majority of them make less than 10 posts the promptly disappear, probably up their own backsides, never to be seen or heard of again.

So OP, are you going to hang around and contribute something, or not?
If not, why should we help you?

I'd rather you stayed a while and gave something back, however if you're upset by the very mild ribbing in this thread, I really don't think the other realms of this forum are going to be your cup of tea!
