  1. F800GS, F800GS Adventure, F650GS Twin Discussion
    Been researching tires for these bikes...There's a lot to uncover and I understand that the best tires depend on where and how you ride - hiway or off-road miles mostly. But I'm doing both. Don't want to travel with tires on my bike....so here's my questions: Tubed vs Tubeless - I believe I am...

    The specs are clear in the owners manual: bias ply 90/90-21 and 150/70-17 But for the Michelin Anakee 3 and Metzeler Tourance, the rear tires only come in radial. In fact over the last 15,000 miles I have actually been riding that way, but I wonder if I am wrong. So, any suggestions? I am...
  3. F800GS, F800GS Adventure, F650GS Twin Discussion
    Hi all, I took my bike on a roadtrip last summer that did a lot of highway and now I have a flat spot on my back tire. It's not horrible when I rode after that, but should I replace it anyways (I'm at 8000kms ish)? And if so, my question is this: I'm more of a poseur, I had aspirations to do a...

    Please excuse me if the topic has been covered before - i tried a search but didn't come up with anything... I have recently replaced the OEM tires on my newly acquired F800GS Trophy with a pair of Shinkos (804/805). I wanted tires that offered a little more grip on the loose stuff than what...

  6. F700GS Modification Nation
    I have a '15 F700GS. Came with Michelin Anakee III's. Wear has been phenomenal, handling very good but not stellar, I feel it's just a bit on the 'heavy' side, hard to define in works, tires may very well enhance high-speed road handling. I don't expect it to be a Ninja, no. 8400 mile on...

    I've got 14,000 miles on my 2013 800GT, and I'm nearing the end of life for my second set of Metzeler Z8's. The first were OEM, and I purchased a second set last summer before a long trip. I ride a mix of commuting on week days, moderate twisties during the weekends, and the occasional long...

    So far I am VERY happy with my PR3's, but I would like to hear some opinions on good F800 tires for the racetrack. I'm thinking about getting an exclusive set of tires for the track. I would want to be able to ride them to the track if it's just the nearby Jennings GP, but I'd be trailering the...
