R 1200 GS “30 YEARS GS” Stock Tires

[davehenricks]

Does anyone know what tires come stock on the new 2011 R 1200 GS “30 YEARS GS”? I saw one at Hermy's and it had a newer set of tires on it that were different than the stock R1200GS.
I want to replace my existing 2009 R1200GS tires and thought those tires look better than the ones I got on my bike.

My bud's came with Metzlers. I just wore out my back tire and have replaced mine with a Metzler. I like it lots so far.

I suspect that there are a number of OEM tyres for the 30th Anniversary GS just as there are for all other variants. I'm not sure what you mean by the ones you saw "looking better". Aesthetics aren't a particularly accurate measure of tyre performance which is, after all, what really counts. Which tyres do you currently have on your motorcycle?

In Sydney. I have a 2005 model, and i run Metzler Tourance EXP. good grip good mileage, it's the only tyre that anyone runs here.
