tire options - non standard size question

[Whoops]

I'm probably not a good enough rider to know but I've found the bike handles just fine with a 160/60 rear. Are Dunlop Roadsmart tyres available? Aussieflyer on the old forum has fitted them and likes them.

I can tell you the Dunlop Roadsmart’s aren’t available here in the US for the rear, as I just bought some new tires after spending an unhealthy amount of time looking for a new matching set. I couldn’t find any set that was currently in stock in the original OEM sizes. The brands I saw that were available last week when I ordered both front (110/80) and rear (160/60) were the Bridgestone T32’s, T34’s or BT46’s, the Metzler Roadtec Z8’s or the Pirelli Angel GT’s. Since most everyone here seems to like the Angels, I played it safe and followed the herd. I don’t recall running into 140/70-18 tire availability issues when I replaced the last set on my 2014.

I am also unable to find the front tire tube in stock anywhere and the 2 closest Honda dealers insist on putting a new tube in when changing tires. It has me seriously considering sending my wheels to Woody’s Wheel Works to have them do the Outtex conversion to tubeless so I don’t have the added expense and headache every time I change tires. It would also be nice to be able to patch my own tire on the roadside with a repair kit rather than calling a tow truck. Dang Honda for not making the tires 17”.
