Thank you, sir! My late 2012 date coded originals are holding their own on my straight slab of a commute, but I tried to have "fun" on Saturday, and took a road with some actual turns. Didn't have as much fun as I'd like.

One set of 120f/160r on my '13 model and another 160r on present '14 = no clearance issue at all, total 60+Kms ridden

Mine is a 110 on the front and 160 on the rear. Angels GTs

Getting good mileage from that combination?

maybe a dumb question but what tire pressure are you guys with 120/160 setups running? Same as stock?
And gone in 60, add me as another data point, no clearance issues at all, more than a cm to spare to the centerstand.

I run my tires 2-2.5 PSI higher than stock.
Gone, I don't know about mileage yet. I only have around 7 or 8 hundred miles on them.

2 PSI higher.
With my '13 model/PR3, 120f/160r made about 35Kms and still 6Km was left/front and 12 Kms rear, up to 5% commuting/city, 65% freeway, 30% rural

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.

Any more pictures of the whole bike with these on?cheddarcheese_imp said:
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?)
