New tires!

[Cormanus]

I am also in the market for some new rubber.

My Cb1100 is a 2017 plate however the codes on the tires say 2014 so guessing these are the originals and also the inner tubes.

Being some 10 years old they do feel a little hard and not very grippy in the wet. Originals fitted are 110/80 R18 and 140/70 R18

I see a few of you changed from stock size?

What is the recomended alternative sizes?

Was looking at Bridgestone T32 which i assume can run with tubes?

I can get the original D205's but they are quite expensive and many touring/sports tyres get better right ups?

David, many of who changed from the stock size did so only because the only available radial tyres did not have a stock 140/70 for the rear. The Michelin Pilot Road 3 and the Pirelli Angel GT only came with a 160/60 rear. Luckily they seemed to work fine. The Michelins, in particular, were a long wearing tyre.
