Looking for a little info from any mechanically minded people.

I need a new rear tyre for my NS125R before i sell it. The cheapest i've found is £50, but a guy on ebay says he can get me a Cougar Tubless road tyre 110/90H18 for £28.00 plus £8.50
carriage. My bike tyre is 110/80 - 18 so will the Cougar tyre fit.
What do the numbers for tyre sizes mean, i know that 18 is 18" wheel but what does the 110/90 mean.

Thanks
Adam

110 is the width,80 refers to the profile, and the H is the speed rating.

The first is the tyre width, the second is the aspect (height) :-
