Hi, I'm new to the Forum and GS1200...

I need to replace both front and rear tyres and looking for suggestions from the well experienced guys with these bikes.

Current use the bike about 90% on tar and 10% on gravel, however would like to do more gravel in the near future as it was intended to be used for.

That said what tyres should I be looking at now, that best suites the above terrain and bike.

Thanks for you assistance in advance.

When you have your advice sorted, get prices from Battery and Tyre World in Knysna. Google their nr. Delivered at your doorstep at very good price. I am using Anakee 3's with very pleasurable kilo's behind me.  90tar/10gravel on my GSA. To old to do more gravel but would love to do more.

I agree with Jacques - the Anakee 3's are recommended by BMW unless you do considerable off-road riding.
