Tires OEM BMW or Shinko
- Have been running Shinko 777 tires on my FLHRSI which I'm very happy with, but am going with the longer lasting Shinko 999 tires next.
Pros: very happy with
Cons: going with longer lasting
Awesome bike, but swap out the stock tires asap.
Cons: swap out stock tires

Before I switched I had 4 sidewall tears, one bent wheel, and one cracked wheel. $3000 in damage. After I switched, zero issues a year and a half later. Smoother ride and less road noise too.
Pros: smoother ride, less noise
Cons: sidewall tears, bent wheel

For better handling and winter traction, I would consider getting wider tires.
Pros: better handling
Cons: winter traction

Shinko SR777 HD (reinforced) tires on my '04 FLHRSI as best bang for the buck given how ex$pen$ive the premium tires are these days. It helps to check the psi more often for longevity though.
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: check psi more often
I run shinko 777 in the rear. It's cheap and I like them. The compound is a bit hard so you'll lose cold weather performance. But I ride in 45 degrees and above and haven't had issues with them.
Pros: cheap, user likes them
Cons: lose cold performance
Just be warned I bought new and we don’t drive it wild or anything but both rear tires (non staggered 21”) were at 3mm tread after 10k miles and I had to replace them. Was shocking.
Cons: tires wear quickly
Vehicle:
BMW X7
Mileage: 10000 km
I got the wheel and tire warranty when I bought my car. They’ve already replaced 4 run flats for free. I got 2 blowouts in the last 2 weeks hitting pretty average sized potholes that I’ve never had issues before with. Run flats suck.
Pros: warranty replaced run flats
Cons: blowouts, run flats suck

It was a commonly traversed dirt road, a little soggy after a rain storm and I backed my dad\u2019s brand new 2008 335i into a small mud depression with the right rear only. Result? Absolutely dead immobile
Cons: dead immobile
