- Start date
I thought so, but couldn't find the wheel sizes in the Honda service manual. Am I blind or did they not include that information in the general specifications section?

And BS have launched the Batlax T33 series... sizes are limited of course... 
No, still won't buy another motorcycle, they can lobby on this as much as they want...

Well, at least they have the 'proper' size for the front for an ST1100 ABSII (and a ST1300).And BS have launched the Batlax T33 series... sizes are limited of course...

And a 170/60 (ST1300 size) will 'work' on the rear if need be as I have used one of those before but then I run a BT020 Bias (proper size) on the back anyway.

160/60-R17 tires are 0.47 inches (12 mm) smaller in diameter than 170/60-R17 tires and the speedometer difference is 1.9%

Looks like (assuming the above calculator is correct) 170 to 160 is .79mm (1/32 inches) in diameter and .39 mm (1/64 inches) in sidewall height.
The 160/60 makes the ST1100 stand up too straight on the side stand from my experience.

That is true - but what I have was information on the 'rear' tire ...
The front BT33 is the 'correct' size for a ST1100 ABSII.
