Tire Options for our CB1100

[Jd2ride]

I went with Pirelli Angel GTs.
Forgot about this thread, just posted in the "What did you do to or on your CB1100" thread in General Discussions a few minutes ago.
Oh well...

You must have gotten the 160/60ZR18 size in the rear, correct? Isn't that tire a bit too wide for the CB1100 4.0" rim width?

How about the front -- did you stay with 110/80R18 or change to a 120/70R18?

Please let me know your thoughts on the ride and handling with your new rubber. Thanks.

As others with more usage have said, the 160/60 rear fits and works with no problems. I chose to stay with the 110/80 front over the 120/70 because I thought it would help on initial turn-in, feeling more like the oem. Maybe a bit quicker than the larger one. I didn't want to slow it down any, the CB is already very different feeling to me compared to my SV 650 and Tracer GT. I wasn't looking for sport bike handling from it.

Due to family issues, I only have 2 rides on the new shoes totaling about 125-ish miles. So far I like them a lot, much better than the old, oem Bridgestones. They felt sure footed in dry cornering on a ride I use as a shake down run for my bikes, and even felt good in the rain shower I got caught in on the way home. Of course, longevity is yet to be determined, but it's not really something I worry about.

And, welcome to the forum, tons of good info and good peeps here.
