Tyres for R1100RT?
Posted: Sun Mar 28, 2021 6:47 pm
As you most likely are aware R1100RT tyre sizes are 120/70ZR17 and 160/60ZR18.
If the Michelin Pilot Road 4 GT would still be available decision would be easy - unfortunately rear tyre is no longer available.
I was looking at available tyres on Mynetmoto and 'main' alternatives appear to be:
Pirelli Angel GT
Michelin Pilot Road 3
Metzeler Z6
Bridgestone T30 Evo
Bridgestone T31
Continental RoadAttack 3
I'm not that keen on the Metzelers or Continentals. And the Pirellis tend to be made in China.
So that leaves Michelins and both Bridgestones. Michelins are most likely made in Spain and B-stones in Japan.
Use of this bike is mostly sport touring.
Any pros/consopinions/recommendations of these (or other) tyres?
