Hello, new to here. Need some advice. I’m after a front premium tyre (sounds simple but isn’t straight forward) the size is 80-100 18” there is only 2/3 available and not much good.


Can I replace with either 2.75 or 3.00 18” as there is a better range?

Hi, if it's a road bike, two good tyres in 80/100 18 sizes are the Pirelli city demons, and Avon AV83 street runner, personally I would go the Avons. What were you looking at, or what don't you like?

Metzeler ME 22 Or Michelin pilot street (currently have the pilot street on the rear) but was gonna one or the other on front and rear. But the above models are only available in 2.75/3.00 18 front. The pirelli city demon I’ve have looked into but the reviews have been bad. Pirelli have discontinued them apparently. Finally the Avon wasn’t available in the size I need

The cbf125 has a notoriously shit choice of tyres, maybe they’ve carried that over to the CB125F. When I had my CBF I didn’t find anything to suggest you can use different sizes.

 

Yeah the guy at Honda said the same thing about the cbf and the cb125f. 2 Tyres I can get is the one that it’s came with cst c910 which I’ve hated since owning the bike.

Hi, Sorry got that wrong about Avon's found them for sale on one site, yet on Avon's site, as you say not available!!! The rim or wheel will be marked, if it says 1.85 you should be able to run the 2.75 tyre.
