Re: 2023 Poll of Tyre Options
I thought it was a bit strange fitting them with an older type of tyre.
2 lucky people were picking up new RT today. Red and the other was blue.

Re: 2023 Poll of Tyre Options
If this is referring to Michelin Road 5 GT, then IIRC, they have never been on the list but can easily be added if necessary, just let me know.

Re: 2023 Poll of Tyre Options
From the Michelin Sports Tourer Tyres category, it looks like they have discontinued the Road 5 GT, https://www.michelin.co.uk/motorbike/br ... rts-tourer

I’ll be on the 5GT for the next couple of years, I’ve got a set on now half worn, and a spare set in the garage.

Re: 2023 Poll of Tyre Options
Can't find a date but it must be 2019 onwards as it lists the R 1250 RT.
As per Iain (Doc. T), some new RT's are being supplied with Metzeler Roadtec Z8's.

Re: 2023 Poll of Tyre Options
OK, Will do, in the meantime it's interesting to note that they only required 10 grams rear and 5 grams front to balance. Oh, and they do look nice ! !.

If you change your tyres, the "Allow re-voting:" box has been ticked, it enables users to change their vote.

Re: 2023 Poll of Tyre Options
Someone must still be using Avon tyres. Wonder who will buy the molds from Cooper?

Re: 2023 Poll of Tyre Options
Just fitted a pair of Dunlop Sportmax Roadsmart IV GT to my 1200RT.
I went for the GT option front and rear. I hope I don't regret that decision.
Had several sets of Michelin over the last few years but they suffered from sever cupping on the front.
Will report on the Dunlops in a couple of months.
