[QUOTE="danh600, post: 1295809, member: 86538"] I posted in this thread a year ago. I wore those GTs out and loved the tire. Double the miles from the original tires. They handled great right to the end. Now fast forward to now and I still have PR4s, but I have non-GTs on the FJR. Didn't really plan it that way. Decided to change a tire right before a trip. Called a dealer and scheduled a tire change. When I got there all they had were the non-GT version. I specifically said GT on the phone. They didn't even know there was a difference. They would have to order the GT. Rather then cancel the appointment and scramble to find a GT I just put that non-GT tire on. I could tell no difference in the ride. Now keep in mind I never ride 2 up (wife has her own bike). Most of my rides are not heavily loaded. Only a few rides a year, when I am camping, are heavily loaded. I actually ended up putting a non-GT on the rear also. Still I can tell no difference in the ride or handling. We shall see if I get similar mileage as time goes on. Honestly, next time I will put on GTs on the bike, cause that's what the book says to use. But the good news is so far the FJR didn't spontaneously combust cause I put the non-GTs on there. I have found most dealers do not know there is a difference. If you want GTs you need to be very specific! [/QUOTE]
