Tire Question
I swear that I’ve read through the multiple tire threads and used that info to identify what I think I need to order for new tires. Would you all mind looking at what I’ve chosen and tell me if this looks right before I pull the trigger?
Thanks!

RE: Tire Question
Excellent Choice. I have been using PR's on my ST1100 for years and will put them on my CB when the time comes. PR's have demonstrated great traction, wet performance, and long wear. I have been getting 15 to over 17 thousand miles on each set. I started with a set of PR 3's, then 4's, now riding on a set of GT's.
I also have been running wider, lower profile PR's on the ST for the better performance.

RE: Tire Question
Looks right. Have those on both our CB1100's.

RE: Tire Question
I’d go for the 110 on the front.

The 110 is very hard to find. Most sites showing unavailable.

I guess I’d have to have the 120.

RE: Tire Question
Those are exactly what I have on mine now.
The 110 front disappeared last year after Michelin said they were going to stop making the PR3. When they became available again last fall, the only front option was the 120. Having gone from the 110 to the 120, I haven't really noticed.

Wow, is that typical mileage?
On my Harley I normally get 10,000km (6250 miles) on a back tire and 20,000km (12500 miles) on a front tire. Unless I do a lot of highway riding, then they last a bit longer.
I must say I like your numbers far better.

RE: Tire Question
My last set of PR3s ran 16K miles on the front and 15K miles on the rear. Both tires still had some tread on them when replaced (i.e. wear bars were just starting to show).
That's one of the things I love about them. They're plenty sticky on the road, great in the wet and yet they still last a long time.
