The rear will be a "C" version code, as confirmed by the Tech. Databook page 81, thanks.R 1250 RT MY 2019 - 120/70 ZR 17 M/C (58W) TL Roadtec Z8 Interact M, 180/55 ZR 17 M/C (73W) TL Roadtec Z8 Interact C.
No Roadtec 01 is recommended for the 1250RT.
Looks like the "O" spec. may have originally been introduced in 190/55 ZR17 for large tourers, e.g. BMW K 1600 GT, http://www.cambriantyres.co.uk/o-spec-roadtec-z8-interact-for-large-tourers/Both the "C" and "O" specs. are listed for my 2012 RT. The original BMW recommendations for Z8's are "Standard" front and "C" rear. I used to run a Z6 "C" spec. on the rear.Based on the latest 1250's coming with a "C" spec. rear, there doesn't seem any particular reason to fit an "O" spec.
Mmm! interesting you have reminded me the RT has interlinked braking I do seem to ride old school i.e. Front brake at high speed back brake slow manoeuvres. You say if you use the back brake independently you wear the pads out quicker? Does that mean slow manoeuvres I use my front brake only? In which case why have a back brake? I do like my back brake
Their Z8’s are £200, must be such a popular tyre so no need to discount.https://www.bikespeeduk.com/index.php?act=viewCat&catId=130
