Default Front tire

Hi fellas

Bought a new front tire for my 10' bob. The tire it had was a Michellin scorcher 100/90/19. The replacement tire reads 100/90B/19. All the lists I have read for the correct replacement only list the 100/90/19 (no B).. I cant find any info on what the difference is. Both have the same load and speed rating.

Am I good with the B model or what?

thanks

RADIAL TIRE. BIAS TIRE. A radial tire allows the sidewall and the tread to function as two independent features of the tire. A bias tire consists of multiple rubber plies over lapping each other. The crown and sidewalls are interdependent.

I believe the B is for Bias tire....the size is the same you will be fine.

This is what i was hoping.. I feel better after a second opinion.. Not being able to locate any "official" info was ticking me off. Lol.

thanks.
