Sorry same old questions
Mitchv60:
Yes standard sizeswhere 3.35 F and 3.50 rear.
As they do metric and imperial front with the imperial being slightly wider and only metric in the rear would I be better using both metric or doesn't it really matter?
matthewmosse:
I routinely run miss matched tyres. Most combinations work fine - I've had as much odd handling quirks from matched metric tyres of same brand as from miss matched part worns - my bmw in particular was quite horrid (felt like it was twisting on white lines or repairs in the road ) on a set of metric parelli tyres but excellent when on some old Avons bought part worn off ebay.

This is the page from the Honda catalogue showing tyre sizes
On all of my CB550s I fitted 4.10x19 fronts & 4.25/85x18 rears with no problems whatsoever. never had tyre flex or speed wobble, despite provocation. My favourite tyres were the Dunlop Red Arrow front & Avon Roadrunner rear.
