Why You Need This: Finding the right tire for vintage Honda CT90 / Trail 90 or CT110 motorcycles can be challenging due to the evolving standards in the motorcycle industry. While preserving the nostalgic aesthetics of your bike is essential, so is ensuring modern performance and handling. Why compromise when you can have the best of both worlds? With a legacy spanning over 70 years, Heidenau, a renowned German tire manufacturer, combines the charm of vintage styles with advanced rubber technology. Beneath the retro exterior lies the heart of innovation - a state-of-the-art sticky rubber formulation that vastly outshines its historical counterparts and any low-quality tires on the market.

The rim sizes on the CT90 / Trail 90  / CT110 are symmetrical for the front and rear, so you will be running equal tires on each end of the bike, which are 17" x 2.75"
We are happy to offer four different tire options that will properly fit the Honda CT90 / Trail 90 / CT110 models; two vintage and two modern tread styles. Any of of which are approiate for the bike depending on how and where you plan to ride. 

• Vintage Off Road: Showcasing a quintessential block tread pattern synonymous with the trails, the Heidenau vintage off road tire encapsulates the classic essence of the square knobby tread pattern. This will make your Honda CT90 / Trail 90 / CT110 look period correct like it did in the showroom.

• Vintage Street: If you Find your Trial 90 lives more miles on the street than the dirt, but still want a retro look than this is the tire. They run butter smooth on pavement, but are still up for some light trail use.

• Modern Street: These are perfect for zipping around the city with maximum handling for turns and braking.

• Modern Scrambler: Why not have a balance of both worlds? We'd call this an 80% on road and 20% light off road tire. If you are jumping from dirt roads to pavement, then this tire will tackle both nicely. 

We're often astonished to see so many vintage Hondas still riding on their original tires from over 40 years ago! Over time, tires dry out and harden, compromising their grip. A visible tread doesn't necessarily indicate roadworthiness, especially when you consider potential sidewall cracks. It's high time to replace the tires on your bike, and while you're at it, consider changing the tubes and rim strips too. Our balance bead kit also simplifies the tire balancing process, making it easy to do right at home.

Installation Tip: Many of the tires come with balance dots (indicated by double red dots). These should be aligned with the valve stem of the tube during installation. Ensure you're paying attention to the tire's rotational direction and mount it on the rim as indicated. While most of these tires are suitable for both front and rear positions on the bike, be aware that some sizes are specifically designed for the front. When installing, it's helpful to sprinkle some baby powder inside the tire and on the tube to facilitate the tube's movement inside the tire. Glass cleaner, such as Windex, serves as an effective lubricant between the tire and rim, especially when positioning the bead over the rim. Before attaching the tire to the bike, inflate it to ensure the tube wasn't pinched during the installation process.
