TS 185 Tyre sizes

Hi Can anyone tell me if I can put metric size tyres on a Suzuki TS185. The measurements are:
Front: 2.75-21 4PR
Rear: 4.10-18 4PR
I'm interested in these:
PIRELLI - Motorbike tyre range
But they only seem to have metric sizes will any of the sizes listed fit my bike?
Regards

Thumbs up

Close approximate conversions are:
2.75 = 70mm
4.10 = 105mm
The 80/90 by 21 front will give you very similar overall diameter, meaning the speedo will read very close to true.
The 110 and 120 rears in either 80 or 90 % profile will fit and be fine. The 90 profiles are slightly taller, so will gear the bike up a little, dropping the engine revs for the same speed. In theory, the 90 profile will also last a little longer. Is that a good thing or bad? Only you can say.
These bikes are not fussy about tire sizes. I have had 130 rears on and there was no problem with the handling.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards
