[QUOTE="Uncle Hud, post: 1405241, member: 29492"] To answer your question, 'GT spec' refers to a tire with stiffer sidewalls, intended for heavier sport tourers like the FJR. Lots of folks around here ride -- and ride hard -- on non-GT spec tires. To the best of my knowledge, none have reported shortcomings. My riding style leans more towards LD, so I prefer the GT spec because it comforts me to think that my tire will stand up to 10 hours of freeway riding at the posted speed limit. [IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/coolsmiley02.gif[/IMG] Can't tell you that there's anything other than "I believe" going on there, but "I believe" is good enough for me. And I'd go with the Dunlop RoadSmart 3s and save a bundle. Use your savings for gas and a cheap motel, and come ride the Cherohala Skyway. (My favorite tire EVER was the Bridgestone, as recommended by [B]redneckj.[/B]) [/QUOTE]
