The trouble with tyres for the CB1100 is the rim diameter of 18”. There are not many tyres of the right size available.
The OEM size is 110/80/18 front and 140/70/18 rear. It is hard to find radial tyre in that size. Metzler make some, Bridgestone Battlax T46 (cross ply), Bridgestone T32 (radial) and Pirelli Sport Demon (cross ply) are some available. The T32s get some positive reviews here.
Because of the difficulty of getting radials in the OEM size, some of us have gone for larger tyres. Of those, I think the only one still a available is the Pirelli Angel GT which has an OEM size front and a 160/60/18 rear. They’re good tyres if you can get them. Some have also gone with a 120/70/18 front in the Angel GT.
I hope that helps.
