We just finished a thread reagrding us of Metzeler ME880s on the RT. It seems they may be the longest wearing although they're not standard equipment on the 12RT. If you're looking for "standard" tires, the Pilot Road is popular for good mileage.

Dave, can you give me an idea where I can find that tire thread? I did a search for ME880....did not find anything that appeared to be an R1200RT tire thread.

That's why I like Dennis Kirk. No matter where I find the lowest price online, Dennis Kirk will virtually always beat it by 1$. A buck is a buck.
