New Tires Choices

Avon final update: LOVE THE AVON TIRES. At 10,413 total miles on these tries, the Coopers Tire & Rubber Avon Spirit ST front tire is almost at the wear indicator; the rear tire has more wear left. In my opinion, this brand/model is similar to the Michelin PR3s and much better than the other non-Michelin brands I have used (1 set of Pirelli Angel GT and 2 sets of Bridgestone Battlax T31).

Has anyone got comments on Pirelli Sport Demon tyres then?

Extremely satisfied with P Sport Demon. More than 3 k kms and tires seem to be in great shape. So far nothing to complain about.

I hope I remember this to try them after I go thru the next set of Angel GTs I just bought

It might be useful to remind us of the wheels you have when mentioning tyres, alloys or spoked and whether you managed to get them in standard sizes.

I think Bflint and I both have 18" Cast wheels, not spoked, but I don't think the Avons would fail to be the superior tire in either case. The only way you could get better tires is if you had '17s. and they are 120/70 front and 160/60 rear, which has kind of been declared the "standard" size for the CB1100 since such a large majority of us use those sizes.

Found this on another forum. I found it useful.

I’m trying Road 6 GT this time. Road 5 lasted me only one year ~5k miles. I love them, however I think they are too soft and expansively especially if changing every year.

I got about 8k out of a Road 5 on my NC 750. Good tire. I'm trying a set of the Angel GTs now to see how long they will go. They go a little oved 8k on my CB.
