2014 CB1100 Standard Tires

[MagnaRider]

All questions answered. Thanks everyone, what a wonderful forum!
I could've saved myself some headache by looking at the "Tubeless" word on the side of my tires.... 

Bought a set of tire spoons, wheel weights, rim protectors and a tire balancer from amazon for relatively cheap, I am not scared to do my first change now especially after watching the video Pauley linked.
How To Change Your Own Motorcycle Tires | The Shop Manual

This morning ordered an Angel GT front and a T32 rear, everything should arrive by Monday so I can start the process next week. So tonight, pulling out my homemade motorcycle lift table getting the CB loaded on and will start the process. Also have new chain and sprockets to install, an oil change and the general get the winter dust off the bike, can't wait for spring! 

Thanks again everyone!

Well I think I have found some answers searching in my spare time,

2014 uses tubeless tires - Tubed tires where only the spoked wheel 2017 plus version as far as I can tell. Makes sense since looking at parts stores all that comes up is tubeless tire options.
First number is the tire width, second is the tire height relative to the rim, and third is rim size. From my reading here and elsewhere, increased width may make the bike seem less nimble. Not read anything on increasing the height or "aspect ratio".
I don't think tires need balancing, as long as you line up the valve stem with the corresponding arrow on the tire.
I think I am leaning to purchasing the T32 tires, but since a lot have talked well about the Angel GT I am thinking of getting that for the front tire (Not available for rear). Any thoughts?

Thanks again,
Starting to feel like less of a noob now lol

Just to clarify: the second measurement is the side height (in percentage) to the tire width. As in example 110/80  means 110 mm width and the side wall would be 88 mm ... (110x80%)

The rim width (and sometimes its design) will determine the tire width you can mount. I recommend using google for that measurement.

Thanks again for the help, honestly was much easier than I expected.

I am looking to figure out how to do the changes myself as well without busting a rim if you have any advice I would love to see a thread. I already have a front stand (pitbull 2nd hand) and am looking for a rear (also looking for pitbull; so my front can lift up because it doesn't work with the center stand).  Been trying to rack up all the maintenance gears/tools so I can add more bikes to garage. I want a tuareg 660 and cb1000gt when they drop state side. I can then make my cb1100 back to cafe styling instead of hippo hands and and top box w/ a cb1000gt in the garage.

Sounds exciting with the other bikes!  I'll be installing a new rear, but I "cheated" and bought a Rabaconda tire changer last year.  MagnaRider, since you just did this w/out a tire changer, what most made it do-able?  The bead breaker, watching the videos, having an extra hand, having good tire irons, warming the tires prior to install?

I need a new rear bad, at 10k miles on my t32 (only 1 year old). Its definitely pass the wear bar but enough rubber for me to make it to next weekend when I have time to change the tire. I also have a car so buying some tools is a non issue. I usually remove my tire and buy a tire and install at the shop. I could definitely save some money doing my own tires.
