Replacing rear tire
I need to replace the rear tire on my 1973 tx500. The tire that is on it now is a Bridgestone Super Speed 4.00H-18. May I replace it with a 11090H-18, or 12090H-18 size tire, are they wider than the 4.00H-18. What is the best brand and size to use to replace it with? Thanks

Stupid me I did not take pictures or mark the rim with the spoke locations, now I am puzzled how to relace the rim. I can't seem to figure out the pattern or were to start. I really could use a little help. Thanks
