    I'm replacing the original Michelin Road 5 GTs on my bike at about 6200 miles due normal wear. I'm thinking about replacing them with the newer Michelin Road 6 GT tires. I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Michelin Road 6 GT tires wear, handing, wet grip? Thanks, Steve

    Hello, As a new rider after many years of being idle...I picked up a BMW K1200GT and will need to replace tires. Wondering if the group here has recommendations? I tipically do touring at moderate speeds usually not exceeding 150km. Thank you for your help

    I have a 2006 R1200 RT. My Beemer will soon need tires and I am looking for an alternate to the local BMW shop. Frankly, a little under $500 for two tires seems overpriced. Does anyone know of a shop that can change the tires if I bring them, the wheels and tires, into their shop? The local...

    I'm looking at a trip with friends, all on GSs, to Alaska; lots of slick gravel roads. Does anyone have experience or can anyone recommend a "universal" tire or a GS tire that will fit/work on my 14 R1200RT? I've asked this same question of BMW engineers at Daytona Bike Week, and they laughed...

    Has anyone had any issues with the ME888 rubbing the swingarm? I just installed an ME888 after using ME880s with no problems. 1/4" of the tread on the right side is rubbing the swingarm of my 2001 LT. Anyone have a solution? I was thinking of doubling up on the steel spacer between the wheel...

    Today while riding around town I noticed a sound coming from the road. Thought it was the road surface, but soon decided it was the bike (tires). Got home and inspected the tires for a foreign object only to find a spot on the front tire that will deflect a bit with a simple push of my thumb as...

    I'm posting this on the RT Thread (in addition to the "Tires" area) since it may be overlooked on the "Tires" area since it doesn't seem to be visited very often. I will be installing my first set of tires on my 2005 RT that I’ve owned for less than a year. The rear tire had a belt separation...
  8. Tires
    I will be installing my first set of tires on my 2005 RT that I’ve owned for less than a year. The rear tire had a belt separation last weekend while my wife and I were going down the road at about 75. All of a sudden it felt like we where running on the warning track at the edge of road...
  9. K1200LT
    In July this year, I bought a 6,000 mile 2008 Lux. It's my third KLT and replaced my 70,000 mile 2005 model, which I'd had from new. Before her, I'd done best part of 100k on a 1999-er. For all my mileage, I've ridden on Metzler Marathons. The latest bike came with them fitted. First proper...
