[Ducati] 900 SP tires

[Jim Calandro]

Yes shorter is a way of looking at it.  What I meant was it is not as big 
around and if you put the bigger tire on the CR it will drag on the front 
fender at track day speeds.  I also hit the wrong key, my lap top key board 
is not big enough for my XXL hands.  The rims are 3.5"  I would check 
carefully but I do not think there are 110 tires that a manufacturer would 
recommend for the 3.5 rim

time to go lay down
