Tire Options for our CB1100

[YmtnpoaH_imp]

Hello everyone, I have been reading over this thread with interest as I am also in need of tires for my 2014 standard. Still have the stock Bridgerocks on there that have been ok. Like many others the front is past gone with just over 7k miles on the clock. The rear has a little life left but I am going to replace both as the rear is almost 7 years old according to the date code. My question is, has anyone on here tried the Continental Road Attack 3's? I don't think I saw them mentioned anywhere in this thread.

I have the Continental Trail Attack 3 (150/70 ) on the back of one of my CB 1100's , the other one has the Trail Attack 2 in the back . I really like these tires > Are you certain that the Road Attack is 18 inch tire ?

Not positive its available in the US, but the Continental web site shows a front 110/80-18 and a rear in 160/60-18. Thanks for the "welcomes" Cormanus and GoldOxide.

Welcome Ym!

Can’t help with the Contis as I’ve never had them. I have Pirelli Angel GTs

I did not want a 160 in the rear and went with a 150 rear , PR4 120 in the front.

Yeah, so I just got a set of these in those exact sizes. The front is installed, and the rear will be installed once I burn out the old one this weekend. Pics to come.

Continental Road Attack 3
110/80-18




160/60-18
Not mounted yet




The tread pattern on these tires look great. No center rib (I just don't like 'em), and they seem to be "more sporty" than the OEMs. I like to be a little different and wanted to try a different tire that not a lot of others seem to be using. I've had great use out of every Continental tire I've had.

Only the front is mounted so far, but it has restored my handling and reduced the noise compared to the old V-shaped tire. Will update further with thoughts on performance, and clearance pics on the rear later.

One thing I gotta rant about, it is a huge pain to find performance oriented 18" tires for this bike (For example Michelin Pilot Powers). I've been looking for a few months for replacements that I would actually want to spend money on. I wish Continental would make a 140 or 150 width for better compatibility with our machines. In the future, if there aren't any good options in 18", I will seriously consider getting some 17" aftermarket wheels.

Any body run any continentals ?

Also was looking at the metzler's havnt decided yet

My tires are dated 2014 so id really like to get fresh rubber on the bike

I have about 1000 miles on a set of RA 3's and I think they are great. For me they are very smooth running, compliant and great turning. Tar snakes and surface inconsistencies are handled quite well.
I'm not a canyon carver so can't give expert opinion on traction, but seems great. Can't tell about wear yet but it's not terrible. 120 front 160 rear. So far I'd buy 'em again.

My front tires are worn up to the wear marks while the rear tire has still 50% rubber left before the wear marks.
I have to order a new front tire, in the meantime can someone tell me from experience of how many miles riding miles are left once the wear mark are aligned?
I am using Bridgestone BT54 Radial.

Thanks

When wear marks are aligned = your tire is no longer safe, sorry.
Mine is due for replacement soon, lasted 37K kms. Dunlop Road Smart 3, will go again for it, 110/80-18

[Cormanus]

37,000 kms is wonderful kilometerage.
