Tire Options for our CB1100

[Guth_imp]

I never worry about the mfg date on the tire, I usually wear them out in 4 or 5 months at 2,000+ miles a month and I don't throw them away when they still have half the tread left. I don't take them down to chords, but I don't waste a lot of rubber either. I get a good mix of straight flat and curves to keep the tire wear pretty evenly across the tire. I am going to really miss the Michelin's on the CB. They are great tires. Not sure what I am going to go to. I tried Z8's on one of my Yamaha FZ-1's and they didn't last for beans on that bike, maybe 4-6K iirc. I had no issues with the stock Dunlops on the CB, handling wise and ran them to the edges, but they only lasted about 8K. which is at the bottom of my acceptable list for endurance. Never been a fan of Bridgestones. May try the Pirellis like Ptero. I value his opinion and if he says they are good tires they must be.

How did you like the Z8’s aside from the wear rate? Any recollections of how they did in the wet or how grippy they were in general?

I suppose that’s enough of an interrogation for now, lol.
