Just got the bike ('75 750F SS) and the first thing I want to change are the tires - pretty much bald.  They have the Bridgestone Spitfire S11's on now (which I have on my cruiser).  I've been doing searches, but it hasn't really helped me decide.  The manual says 3.25-19 front, 4.00-18 rear.   I've looked at conversion charts, but still can't figure out what that means.  Tires are too important so I will admit my lack of knowledge rather than get the wrong tires!  I plan on doing mostly back roads and twisties.  I'm not an overly aggressive rider but would like something reliable that leans over better in the turns (the cruiser is not much fun on the twisties!)    I would really appreciate any suggestions on tires and sizes.   Thanks for the help.
