Default 100/90-21 Who's got em?

Looking for advice as to change the front to a 100/90-21 on my next tire change.
Will this help keep it from pulling to hard around the cracks and tar lines in the road?
Whos done the change, and how do you like it?

Just curious, what specific brand/model 100/90-21 tire are you planning on using?

I changed from an 80/90-21 Dunlop to a 90/90-21 Michelin. No more wandering on cracks and snakes and much better handling over-all. I don't believe it had anything to do with the change in size but rather brand and/or model difference. I went with the 90/90 more for aesthetic proportion more than any other reason... they look better.

Just curious John, would you happen to have a picture of the 90/90, my Michelin is an 80/90, I'm just curious if the difference is noticeable. Thanks.

PS, I found a picture but not on a bike.

Haven't got a picture of them on my bike yet... too busy riding!!

I'll see if I can post a couple tomorrow night. The difference is noticeable... looks much better imho.

Yup... that's what they look like. Quite a bit actually for one size difference.

I was thinking on using the Pirelli Night Dragons, I have a set on my metric bike, but I haven't put many miles on it yet, but the seem too have good traction and they are a nice looking tire, but I'm open to suggestions on ther brands, except Dunlop , and Metzler

Pirelli Night Dragon isn't available in 100/90-21.
