Old 2015 rear tire: she needs new shoes

[3rd Gear Steve]

@Ferret & @Gone: this combo using Pirellis seems pretty interesting.

Can I ask:
a) How does it change the handling of the motorcycle?
b) How long do they last in general?
c) Does it change the reading of the speedometer/odometer?

I also run the 110/80ZR18, 160/60ZR18 Angel GT pair. This appears to correct the speedometer from reading 7% high (previous owner’s calculation) to reading accurately.

I've always wondered how the 160/60/18 affects the speedo myself. I have an audio GPS speedometer app and have been meaning to ride the CB with a Bluetooth earbud to compare the GPS speed with the bike's speedo. I used it to verify my RE's speedo after replacing the cable.

The Speed-O-Healer app says it is 5.8%

I've been running the Bridgestone T32s (radial, available in stock sizes) for the last year and really like them.

Between the three choices I'd cleary go for the Z8 but I like none of them =p
I think you'd be better off with a set of Pirelli Angel GT (softer tire) as suggested or the Bridgestone T32 (harder tire). I'm still sad y'all can't have the Dunlop Roadsmart 4 in 18" in the US because they show off the qualities of the CB remarkably.

Update: I've ordered the Metzeler sized in 140/70R18 as I want to learn how the bike handles with regular sized tires.

The next tire change I will order the Pirellis.
