Tire Options for our CB1100

[TooSlo_imp]

might be technically fine, but IMHO they 160 will slow the handing down a bit, they specced the 140 here for a reason, probably to sharpen the handling. either way, yes, a 150/160 will absolutely *technically* be fine on a 4" rim, and id guess most wont notice any difference.

Right. I would prefer the 140 for neutrality, but selection is becoming sparse...Doing the tubeless kit at the least would allow me to run 140-160, and both tubed or not, meaning I'll always have a tire option even if out of town when it fails.

Trust me, I'm also a Gold Wing owner, and the number of "Darkside" folks that I have to explain motorcycle tires to have made me well-versed in "don't out-think the Honda engineers"...But now the tire market is speaking against our low-volume tire size and I need to expand the offerings.
