Looks like I'll be riding my new to me BMW R1200GS adventure to Colorado and back next week.
It's currently shod with Anakee Wild tires. They had about 500 miles on them when I got it and I've put another 800-1000 or so on so maybe they have 1500 on them.
The trip will be about 2500 miles with about 200 miles of mountain 4wd roads in there and the rest being street.
Question is whether or not to change them before I go. if I change them, do I change front and rear or just rear?
Basically looking for feedback on how many miles is "normal" for an Anakee Wild on a 1200GS? And yes, I know normal depends on a lot of things like speed, terrain and heat...but looking for either a range of mileage that people have seen or any personal experience and the type of riding that gave you the result you got.
Oh...I've got some Shinko 804/ 805s with about 500 miles already in the garage too so I could easily put those on if that's a better choice than the 1500 mile Anakee's.
Administrator....wasn't sure where to post this thread...if it's in the wrong place, please move for me. Thx.
