CB 750 What size tires are you guys running?
« on: March 15, 2012, 03:04:22 PM »
I have tried to search the forum with no avail on tire sizes for the CB 750. So,my last post was about DS tires on a 750. I am wondering what is too big. I can get a killer deal on some 705's here in town and I am ready to get them, I am just a little hesitant on the sizes and was wondering if anyone else is running a 110/80/19 and a 120/90/18? I don't wanna go to big but if I am not mistaken I have seen it before,not a 100% positive. I don't wanna do any damage to my bike or have any rubbing issues. Thanks.

You must have done something in your search, as the subject of tire size is probably the second most thing argued about.  Don't even ask about oil.

I had 130s on mine when I got it, but that doesn't make it right.  Going larger on tires without going larger on rims makes for a sharper curve in the tread, and ends up with less contact with the ground.
Go metric, every inch of the way!
