Honda CB650R Tyre Review Highlights
These tyre have fantastic dry grip. They transformed the way my bike handles and gave me so much more confidence. That’s where the positives end. The front tyre is super noisy. You probably won’t notice it if you have good hearing protection but I noticed it straight away when I put them on. Also the rear is already about half worn in the middle after just 3,000km. I thought these were supposed to be sport touring tyres with a harder centre tread? I don’t do any motorway riding. I live in Wanaka, New Zealand so all of my riding is on mountainous roads. I do commute to work and back which has some straight road and roundabouts but it’s only about 5km each way. My rear tyre has a big wide flat spot through the middle 1/3 of the tyre width and I’m down to about 2.5mm of tread in the middle measured at the wear bars. I have about 3.5-4mm left close towards the edges. I check my tyre pressure regularly with a Topeak digital gauge. I’m running 33/39 F/R. I ride a Honda CB650R. So yeah these tyres feel great but wear way faster than a sport touring tyre should. It needs harder rubber in the middle.
I’ve only ridden them once in the wet and I wasn’t going fast so I can’t comment on wet grip.
