BMW R1200RT/R1250RT Forum

Just installed the Dunlop Road Smart IV's. Third set of tires I have put on the bike. First two sets (1) Michelin Pilot Road GT 4 (2) Dunlop Road Smart III's. The set cost me $408USD installed. The shop I buy tires from will mount the tires free of charge if I bring in the wheel.

I just put on a set of Michelin Road6 GTs. Huge difference from the Bridgestone Battlax That came off! Handling is a dream! Goes straight when it's supposed to, and drops into a corner without any effort! Huge Difference?"" Were the Bridgestone's wore out? How many miles? Or "Handlin...

How many km/miles did you get on the Roadsmart IV's?

Did you ride them down to the wear bars?

Has anybody used two different brands/models of tires on the list and found one to wear longer?

What kind of milage did you get on the 6GT's?

Currently running Dunlop Road Smart III's. Did not see them in the list of tires.

Looks very similar to my front wheel but mine was not a F'n pothole. You can see the marks on the tire from a time tool. I did not see it until I was 1200 miles from home. Cycle Gear installed the new tires before I left on vacation. I was near Eugene, OR and rode to the Cycle Gear in Eugene to show...

Last March I bought a 2014 R1200rt with 7800 miles on it. I have not ridden much lately but by October of 2023 the bike now has 18,000 miles. Sold the Suzuki last July. Now I miss it, Damn! RT is fun to ride, it goes fast. If there was only a way to control the speed.

Currently riding a 2004 Honda VTX 1300 with 104,000 miles and a Suzuki 2016 V-Strom with 15,000 miles. I am looking to purchase to RT so am checking out this bulletin board.
