Sorry if you've had this one before.
I'm getting a new GSA1200.
Thanks to all for help so far.
What about tyres ?
Anakee (softer, 8000 miles ?)
Tourance (harder 10,000 miles ?)
What do you think ?

Surely the choice in tyres depends on the usage and type of rider/roads.
.....better because it lasts longer? ............better because it does dual purpose?.....better on the road?...better in the wet...better in the dry? better off road. Quieter? Gripper. Rider input?....
I think for you to get help in this forum we will need to establish what sort of riding/ roads and mileage you are going to do over the next 12 months with the bike, split up in percentages.
i.e.--------20% off road on hard rock, 10% mud, 60% dry tarmac, 10% wet tarmac........
Like with most things it's a compromise.
Sports riders with buckets of money will tell you that a soft tyre with tons of grip is best. Changing them every 2k miles
The slow Tour rider will suggest a longer lasting harder......etc.
What type of rider/riding and the terrain has the biggest influence in the choice, then it's all a comfort thing...
Noise -I'm not sure on that one-my Remus full system and ear plugs see to that one?
Lots of variables eh?
Break down your type of riding/roads/weather etc first then ask the question, It'll help.
Pirelli Scorpions (better, 12,000 miles)
......or by the look of your post perhaps like others are you suggesting better is how many average miles you can get out of the tyre...then longevity is your only objective above all other issues?
