RE: New Tires Choices - bflint - 06-23-2022
Avon final update: LOVE THE AVON TIRES. At 10,413 total miles on these tries, the Coopers Tire & Rubber Avon Spirit ST front tire is almost at the wear indicator; the rear tire has more wear left. In my opinion, this brand/model is similar to the Michelin PR3s and much better than the other non-Michelin brands I have used (1 set of Pirelli Angel GT and 2 sets of Bridgestone Battlax T31).

Extremely satisfied with P Sport Demon. More than 3 k kms and tires seem to be in great shape. So far nothing to complain about.

I hope I remember this to try them after I go thru the next set of Angel GTs I just bought

It might be useful to remind us of the wheels you have when mentioning tyres, alloys or spoked and whether you managed to get them in standard sizes.
RE: New Tires Choices - misterprofessionality - 07-12-2022
I think Bflint and I both have 18" Cast wheels, not spoked, but I don't think the Avons would fail to be the superior tire in either case. The only way you could get better tires is if you had '17s. and they are 120/70 front and 160/60 rear, which has kind of been declared the "standard" size for the CB1100 since such a large majority of us use those sizes.

I’m trying Road 6 GT this time. Road 5 lasted me only one year ~5k miles. I love them, however I think they are too soft and expansively especially if changing every year.
RE: New Tires Choices - the Ferret - 08-29-2022
I got about 8k out of a Road 5 on my NC 750. Good tire. I'm trying a set of the Angel GTs now to see how long they will go. They go a little oved 8k on my CB.
