What size tires are on a 2004 CBR600RR?

The tire sizes for the 2004 Honda CBR600RR are front 120/70ZR17 and rear 180/55ZR17. This article explains the exact specifications, why they’re chosen, and how to approach replacements for this model year.


Front and rear tire sizes

  • Front: 120/70ZR17

  • Rear: 180/55ZR17


These sizes are chosen to balance steering response, grip, and clearance on the bike’s 17-inch wheels and performance chassis.


Notes on compatibility and replacement


When replacing tires, it’s essential to match the tire width and aspect ratio as specified and ensure the tire type (radial vs bias-ply) and speed rating are appropriate for your riding style and local conditions. Some markets or special editions may have variations, so always consult the owner's manual or a Honda dealer for your VIN-specific specification.


Performance considerations


Front and rear tire choices influence handling characteristics. A taller or wider tire can affect steering effort, weight distribution, and ride feedback. Most riders opt for performance sport tires in those sizes from brands such as Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone, or Dunlop, with options that match a 120/70 front and 180/55 rear profile.
