yeah, I already have the RS rear wheel and in fact I think without that extra width, the current tyre (or tire!) set up would be even more unstable.

I have an RS and I run dunlop road smart tires and the are awesome..smooth and great in wet weather.nothen bad to say about them. Just keep the air at max and all is good Cool

Just make sure you run them at 42psi, And they will last along time at 12 psi they ware very bad and you only do that once Embarassed

I am in the market for some new tires and am looking at the PR2s. I read in some forum, I can't remember if it was here or another one that on their K11LT they were runing the 110 PR2s on the front and the 150 PR2s on the rear wiith the standard K11LT rim with no problem.

Any thoughts!

The Azaros come in the stock sizes. I rna them on my LT but the front had irregular wear problems and thye were off thebike in <2000 miles. Hopefully they have their quality problems worked out these days.

I'm running PR2's with an RS rear rim on my LT now and could not be happier.

Well I think I am going to try the Metzeler Roadtec Z6 Interact size 110 front and 150 rear. They show they make them now all I have to do is find a place that sells them.

My front tyre (tire) Bridgestone is about shot.
Before I spend loads of gold, are you guys still happy with PR2 front & Azaro rear.
I want to try radials. One bloke here runs Pirelli sport demon front (belted) & Azaro rear (radial) which should be a no no.

You'd think mixing bias ply and radial would be a "no-no" - but look at some of the bikes that came from the factory with bias ply front and radial rear - like the 650.

New guys really need these kinds of notes.

But I'd really like to ask a few things;

#1 If somebody says "this tire is the BEST" , I would like to know,
Best for what? Footpeg scraping? Longhaul touring? Rough roads? Best alla round? Longest wearing?

#2 Most of the "Best tires" seem to have large areas of really smooth tire between the groves. Will they work well if things get wet?

#3 Seems like ALL the models don't have the size that is specified by BMW. All the numbers are larger. (No got 130/90 but will have 150/60 & that's as small as we go.) So I really need the notes that are posted here.

I know it don't make much difference to a Sunday driver/grocery getter/ weekend traveler/commuter, but I'd like to have tires good enuf to take long trips, corner well, etc.

So,
I put something (anything) on just to get state inspection done. And expect to read up to find what's recomended so as to be ready for the next pair. The front had tread, but needed a rear one, so expect that now both will probably run out about the same time. Got a Bridgestone Spitfire II because it seemed to match what was on the front.

I will be interested in seeing how things work with radial tires, something that I have heard about here.

By the way,, THANKS..
