Tires MICHELIN or Kleber
If you want a standard tire and not oversized or off-road, you can’t do better than Michelin defenders. The just don’t wear, and they’re great all over Colorado. I take them camping and I get less noise and good gas mileage on road, and I’ve never been stuck offroad. Great in the snow too.
I freaking love my Michelin LTX A/T2. I’ve got about 45K on them and they look like they’ll go another 30. So quiet and compliant.
So far I have almost 2000 miles on them and they feel and look just as good as new.
I can only talk about the X-Ice Snow and for only one season, its probably the best performing winter tire I've used and is rather quiet. They claim they'll outlast their major competition but I can't verify.
The Michelin Road 5 and Road 6 have a "GT" version with an extra ply for heavier bikes. I have Road 5 GTs on my RT and Road 6 on another bike and they're pretty great.
I ditched the runflats and got Michelin pilot sport 5s. Best thing I ever did
I just swapped my JCW from run flats to Michelin Pilot Sports and it’s SOOOO much better.
I have the same CrossClimate 2 tires on my R60. Love them.
Try the Michelin route, maybe they'll cover it.
My Jetta’s got the defender 60k’s on them and it’s a bit noisy and poor in the snow
