What ST1100 tires are best?

I decided on the Shinko 011 Verge in 120/70-18 size for my ST1100-A after all of the great recommendations. My last 2 AV55s wore fast and the last developed a nice set of bumps running along the center of the tire. RZ had a great price of $75 out the door (with 10% off) so I'll see what this tire delivers for my moderate ST 1-up riding habits.

Wheel Location: Front
Tire Size: 120/70ZR18 W
 
Greetings All,

Quite the tire thread. Just wanted to add I love the OEM Bridgestone G548 and G547 tires for my 02 ST1100. I was able to order them today through Chaparral thankfully. For me the two were much harder to find this time.

cheers, happy and safe riding,

willie
 
Question 110/70/17 work for the rear tire? Found one cheap and wasn’t sure it would fit properly

No!
That tire is very narrow and small. The second number is the tire hight measured in % of the tire width. So you got 70% of 110 instead of 160 ( way smaller diameter). Also the load and speed rating will be way lower on that tire.
