It is finally time for my first tire replacement and I am uncertain which of the following two scenarios to try.
I am interested in getting some dual compound tires and it looks like my choices are:
1) Get some Michelin PR3's at a size wider than the spec because I can't find any that meet the original tire specs.
2) Change the wheels to 17" rims which opens the door to a lot more tire options.
I have read through the forum's about people exploring both of theese options.
If I change the rims I was looking at the Kineo wheels (http://www.europemotoparts.com/?shop=kineo).
I am hoping that someone that has experience doing either of these with their CB1100 can give me some advice or share their experience.
I don't want to sacrifice safety putting larger tires on (if that is a real concern) and I'm not sure what unforeseen issues I could end up having to deal with by going to 17" rims.
Thanks in advance.
