Tire Options for our CB1100

[Cormanus]

Been meaning to tell you guys that I went to talk to the tyre man on Monday as my rear PR3 was showing signs of dying after 21,000 plus kms. We chattered away, lamenting the difficulty of getting tyres of the right size for the CB. He chased up an Avon option for me, which was a 150/70 and would have been closer to the OEM size. We explored a couple of bias ply options and then he asked me how many kms I'd got out of the PR3. I told him and he said, 'Why don't you stick with them?'

'Cause the don't make them any more,' I replied.

He walked over to the rack and said, 'Yes, they do. I got some in the other day.'

The CB now sports its third PR3 on the rear. 21,410 kms or just over 13,000 miles. I'm happy.
