I swapped tires on my old r1150gs and it wasn't terrible.

 

Now my k1200s needs tires...  Will it be a more difficult job?

I just put Conti Road Attack 2’s on my XR1200 and didn’t find it to be too bad, especially considering it was the first time I’d ever changed motorcycle tires. Having them warm when mounting made it much easier, I stuck a hairdryer in them for a few minutes.

Thanks.


I'm leaning towards Coni Road Attack 3

Ordered the Road Attack 3.

 

They were actually cheaper at a local dealer than I could get them online, have to wait for the rear to come in though.  So next weekend I'll be mounting them.

Have you seen the gorilla tape method of mounting tires? I'm going try it next time,  sure looks better than fighting the tire on with spoons
