Default older ninja tire replacement

Hello, I'm new to the forum, I have an older ninja, 1988 zx6. I need to replace the tires, but they are a bizarre size. Does anyone have any suggestions on what direction to go with them? The front is the hardest one to replace. Its a 110/80 x 16 with. The rear is 130/90 x 16. The speed/load rating is a 59V.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks for the link, I checked out the site. None of the tires match the OEM sizes. What would you recommend for an alternative tire size. There are 110/90 and 120/80 but no 110/80.

Sorry it said they were for that bike, I didn't look any further. 110/90 will raise the front of the bike a fraction and may alter the handling if so you could drop the forks a little. 120/80 will make the bike a little slower to turn in.

If you want the right size looks like a scooter tyre is your only real choice.
