Hi Walus

Have a look in www.ukgser.com , there's a 1200 forum which should have what you want.

Hi Adam, I've just fitted TKC80's on my 1200GS, no problems on blacktop but I'm about 2 weeks from the dirt. Ride safe, Mike

I used a TKC80 on the front of my (fully loaded) R1200GS during a 3 month trip through Canada, Alaska, Arctic Circle and NW USA.

Ran it at 39psi at ALL times, even on the dirt, rocks etc. Worked brilliantly, and is still on the bike - after 31,500km, with a few thousand km still to go!!

Metzler Tourance on the back using 42psi at all times, currently has about 16,500km on it, with heaps of tread left. This is a very good combination for basic dual-sport conditions, in my opinion.

Have a look at the tyre FAQ at http://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32096

Like most GSers I use TKC80 tyres.

Thanks very much.
