Gold Wing Tour tires
The OE tire sizes for the Honda Gold Wing Tour (2026 model) are 130/70R18 front / 200/55R16 rear. Below are tires in these sizes, compared across brands. OE rim widths are F3.50 / R6.00 (from official specs; used for the rim-width check). OE sizes can differ by model year and market — the sidewall of your own bike is the sure reference. This is a Japanese-market lineup; the sizes themselves are international.

Tires that cover front and rear (2 models)
Front + rear set: 2 models can cover both ends (matching sizes in bold, based on F=130/70R18 / R=200/55R16). Shop links search on the model name alone.
For large tourers only. The line-up — 130/70R18 with 180/60R16 and 200/55R16 — is in practice aimed at the Gold Wing family.
Sizes: F 130/70R18 / R 180/60R16, 200/55R16
Where to buy
Bridgestone files it as an “on-road high-performance type” radial, and both ends are OE fitments. ★ One of very few tires with a 200/55R16 rear, which fits the Gold Wing Tour ★ It also carries ultra-wide sizes such as 200/60R16, 240/55R16 and 210/40R18.
Sizes: F 150/80R16, 130/80R17, 120/70ZR18, 130/70R18 / R 200/55R16, 200/60R16, 240/55R16, 200/50R17, 200/50ZR17, 210/40R18

Front 130/70R18 options (13 total, 2 of them listed in the set section above)
Size 130/70-18: 13 exact, 0 in the same group. Shop links carry each tire’s own matching size.
IRC calls it a “high-rigidity type, a best match for highway cruisers,” and states outright that it is OE on the Rebel 250/500 and the Eliminator (including the SE). The first thing to reach for if you just want the stock tire back. All sizes tubeless.
Sizes: F 130/90-16, 130/70-18 / R 150/80-16
Where to buy
Avon calls it “the ultimate custom tyre,” for large cruisers and tourers. AV91 front and AV92 rear are separate part numbers. Its real distinction is the ultra-wide sizes — 240/50R16, 330/30R17, 300/35VR18 — which make it one of very few tires that fit the Rocket 3’s rear. Availability in Japan needs checking.

How to read this
- The 1–5 ratings are our own estimates. Not manufacturer figures, not measurements.
- Within one model, character and street legality both change with the size and the spec. Confirm with the manufacturer or a dealer before you buy.
- Shop links go to search results rather than product pages. Other sizes and older models will be mixed in.
- “Narrower” means one or two steps below the OE size. The “rim width OK” badge means the tire maker's published rim widths line up with the OE rim width; no badge means unconfirmed.
- Competition tires may not be used on public roads.
