Tire Options for our CB1100

[Cormanus]

Add me as a data point too Gone. I’ve run a 160 rear for nearly 100,000 kms with no clearance problem. My Angel GTs now have a shade over 10,000 kms on them and good wear left. I’ve a suspicion the PR3s wear slightly better—I got better than 20,000 kms from them—but people say they can’t get them in the USA. As they show as available on Michelin’s US web site, I’d be giving them a call.

The roads here in WNC give about 7000 to 8000 miles , some gave me only 3000 and I am NOT a hooligan !

Thanks, guys. Only decision for me is a 120 or 110 front.

Quote:I just added the Angel GTs and upsized to the 160/60 ZR18 in the retained 110/80 R18 in the front. No fitment issues whatsoever, and handles great.
Any more pictures of the whole bike with these on?

Have any of you had any flak when getting these upsized tires installed? Last time I tried that (admittedly, 2013) a dealer flat out refused (and that was only 10mm up, not 20).

Sorry Cheddar, just saw this. The installer said it was a little more difficult but not too bad. He had a second set of hands.

Here are a few of the whole bike...

My Honda dealer had a big issue with my '13 when inflating an oversize front/120/PR3...they almost gave up.
For the '14 model, I have 110/Dunlop and 160/PR3

Late last year I replaced both my 2013 and 2014 fronts 110 PR3 with the 120 PR 4 , they feel quite a lot better; of course old versus new will make a difference as well.

So, do shops have a problem (physically mounting, not questioning the choice) putting a 160 on a rear 2013 wheel? I have an independent shop do my changes, since they're the only place that hasn't scratched my rims.

Honda dealer didn't even blink for me. No scratches either lol.

That's cool. I won't worry about it. Just need to save some cheddar to buy them (See what I did there?)

I’m running a 160 on the rear and had my Honda shop put it on. No questions asked.
