RE: Review Michelin Road 3's

Just a quick comment about the true definition of aspect ratio. It is simply the height of the tire as a percentage of the width in millimeters. For example the 140/70X18 tire on the CB1100 is 140MM wide and 98MM (0.70 X 140) high.

If you switch to a 160/60 tire, the height is 96MM (0.6 X 160). Just a smidge smaller in diameter than the stock tire.

I have worn out many sets of tires on both sport and touring bikes. My personal favorites are Michelin Pilot Power 3's for sport bikes and Pilot Road 2's for sport tourers. Unfortunately, neither are made in sizes to fit the CB1100.

Michelin does not make tires for my Gold Wing and I have tried both Bridgestones and Dunlops - a toss-up.

I would be very reluctant to put bias ply tires on the CB1100 as some of you suggest.
