Tires – Radials for Rebel 1100

Shinko SE890 Journey Touring radial tires fit the Rebel 1100.

They are far superior to bias ply tires, but you have to drive under 20mph until you can go to a parking lot and re-learn to take corners with your bike.

These are great for the money : Shinko SE890 Journey Touring radial – for the front they have your exact size. For the rear I would suggest 200/55R16 – 2.2% more revs on the highway (probably not enough to warrant a sprocket change) and you need ⅜ inch (10 mm) clearance on the chain side. It is 0.79 inch (20 mm) wider.

Stock 130/70B18 Front 82.28C 26.19D and 180/65B16 Rear 79.21C 25.21D.

200/55R16 7.87″ Width vs 7.09 0.79″ (20 mm) wider
