Best tyres for 1150gsa with Mrs and panniers on tarmac?

Post by noodle »

Hi All,
it has probably been asked previously [sorry if it has]
What would you guys suggest for road tyres for 1150gsa with twos up and 3 panniers, it wont be for any off roading, [unless you call getting of wet grass or across a gravel drive!!!!]
Thanks

decent tyre a 60/40 so not quite as grippy as a full on road tyre. Used them for over 3k miles so far and give decent grip in the wet or dry

cheers Spud ;)
