Tire Options for our CB1100

[mvk24_imp]

Hey guys, haven't been on much since I posted the oil filter cross reference thread sorry. It's about that time and I have 14kmiles on my cb since I got it "new-left" over in June of 2018. (10k of which being the first season ) My buddy at the shop said those tires aren't passing inspection and it's time. Those stock Bridgestone battalax BT-45s held up great. I enjoy the curvy road and haven't had feeler gauges for quite awhile.. however I've done alot of touring with this bike and I'm planning either a traditional cross country next season or seriously considering the ride from NY to the Dalton Highway up to Dark Horse out of Alaska. (I assume I'll be the first CB to ride that).

Leading me to figure out tire considerations, there's alot of pages here about street tires. I'm thinking about just going with the BT45s again since they treated me well the first time. Although my buddy at the shop said I should go with a stickier tire for how aggressive I can get with the bike when local but not sure if a sport tire is neccesary.

However, if I do the Dalton Highway out of Fairbanks I need to switch to dirt tires before I leave Fairbanks and that's a whole new discussion. Has anyone done any sort of a scrambler build or for some reason used dirt tires on our CB that knows of a tire that will work on my bike for such purposes?

I'll also have to replace front rotors while I'm doing tires, guess we are still limited in rotor options correct?

Hope everyone has had a nice Holiday and new year!
