joeb Posted June 5 Share Posted June 5 My 09 1200 GS has 110 80 19 and 150 70 17 rims which limits my tire choices more than I like. My choices seemed to have narrowed to Michelin Road 6 ( too expensive IMO ) Meztler Roadtec 01 , love them but usually out of stock Pirelli Angel GT. I was considering the Pirelli , however the GT appears to refer to usage on a heavier bike ? My GS is on the lighter side for touring , so my question is, are the GTs too stiff of a sidewall ? Any other recommendations ? I ride rather aggressive on pavement and value good side and wet grip but don't want the tire wear of an out and out sport tire. I know, I want a Unicorn !!

I personally love the Road 6's but agree they are pricey. I did find a vendor which is cheaper than most and no taxes and free shipping. https://www.americanmototire.com/ Link to comment

The GT's will be fine, especially with a more aggressive riding style. Link to comment
