On my CBX I have a 120/90 18 Avon Roadrider ,on a big and heavy bike but for whatever reason I have more confidence in that tire than the Bridgestone radial on the CB1100.It could be me as I never had a Bridgestone tire before.(mostly Metzeler and Dunlops in the past)
Avon does have a radial in a 150/70 18 size ,it is called the Storm ,also a 110/80 18 for the front.If I need new tires in the future I will put a Metzeler lazertec in the front and a Avon roadrider in the back.I think that bias ply tires will do just fine for my riding and this bike.It is a GOOD thing that tires do not last forever,you can always change after a certain milage !!!
On my CB1000 I went with 180/55 18 radial Avon Cobra,not cheap but a great tire and it looks good to.
I have a little booklet from Avon and that gives all the measurements of all the tires and the recommended rim and the min. and max. rims allowed for a certain tire;this is very handy to decide what tire to pick.It is also probably available on their website.
I always maintain that quality pays but cheap does not,when it comes to tires I do not look for a cheap tire like some offbrand but buy the best tires for me.
