Currently ST1100 Available Tires?

[Arkterra]

I'm in the market for tires and am having trouble finding an instock matching set for my 1999 ST1100. Any suggestions?

I've been riding Metezler Lasertecs and have really enjoyed them! But I don't think I'll get more than 6000 miles out of the front tire. Currently I'm 200 shy of 5000.

As an aside when I put on new tires this past February (my first set on the bike) I but a 110 on the front instead of a 120 by mistake. I know, should of looked at the tire info sticker on the bike but I went by something I found online. All that said, I never had any issues with the out of spec tire size.

Running a second set of the stock spec Exedra's. Got 11K out of the first set, and they weren't quite gone. They were readily available this Spring....

I run the BT020 Bias on the rear (also fits the BMW KLT1200) and whatever the Bridgestone current available radial is for the front (but I have ABSIIs so it uses the 120 instead of the 110).

If yours is an ST1100 non abs I'd recommend the oem tire. I've ran the G548 and G547 Bridgestones for the last 22 years. Can't find no fault with them.

It's an ABSII model.

I think those take a diffrent size maybe a radial tire? Phil's got alot of experience with the ABS models so he would know better than me.

When to replace tires? | Tires/Wheels

Considering 5k- 5,5k km two up trip. Everything is ready (bike is fine, oil changed, planned to replace brake pads), need to schedule vacation and trip itself. But almost forgot that I may need to think about tires. I have now Michelin pilot 4 on the front with 2-3 mm tread left and Battalax...

The ABS two should use the wider front.
Bridgestone T32's wouldn't be a bad choice.

Then the combination I mentioned will work just fine.
As it turns out, the ST1100 ABSII and the ST1300 have the exact same tire size.
I like the bias on the back as I can usually get 10,000 miles out of it and it does well in the wet and dry.
I figure most of the 'steering' is in the front so I run a radial up front.
Most of the 'wear' is in the back so I run a bias back there.

I ran some Avons in the Honda correct size tires but I don't remember the model. They ran a little over 8K miles.

Guys have run several different size tires, front and rear, radial and bias mixed and matched, dark side front and nothing exploded into a fire ball and the earth is still spinning.

Same here. I went with the advices of some of our venerable and highly respected members (for their wisdom and years of riding an ST, not for their age ), and went with G548 and G547 Bridgestone Excedra.
I Have the regular ST11, non-ABS.
I'm very happy with them.
The price is fair and they just seems to do their job, and quite well.
I was not looking for the cheapest ones on the market, and I don't even know what is the lowest tire price. Not for tires and brakes. My life depends on them.
But, I have to say, the price of the Excedra was very good, if I compare to what other colleagues pays for their tires.

I put Bridgestone BT031 front and rear on my 1991 ST1100 back in the fall of 2019.

These are at least the third set of BT031 tires I've installed on that bike and I've been very happy with them. However I haven't ridden that bike much since I got the 1300 in 2020.

I'm on my second set of BT032s on my 1300 and like the tires, but I'm not sure comparing those on a 1300 to the same on the 1100 would be a useful comparison.

Ahem…. Exedra, not the headache medicine. BTW, the Harley Sportster rear runs the same size Exedra. AMHIKT
