    What tyres are you replacing the stock tyres with? Thinking Sport Touring. Any noticeable improvement over the stock tyres?

    My wife and me used the Metzler Tourance Next and Tourance Next 2 and we're very satisfied with them.

    Do you have a local indy tyre fitting centre? I ring mine up to see what's the best option for my bike and he's always been very good, being able to explain the differences between the choices available as well as advising on cost etc.

    Michelin Road 6's. They absolutely transformed my gt pro's handling.

    What sizes have you had fitted. I've noticed a couple of times my gt pro tramlining, quite entertaining but rather it didn't.

    Same here. My GT Pro used to tramline with the original Metzelers fitted. Totally eliminated with the road 6's.

    110/ 80 zr 90 fitted to the front. 150/70 zr 17 rear.

    I can't fault the TKC70 that I'm using on my Scram 1200XC.
