BMW R 1250 GS tyre FAQs
What tyre size does a BMW R 1250 GS use?+
The BMW R 1250 GS uses 120/70-19 at the front and 170/60-17 at the rear. Check the size on your current tyres or in the owner's manual before you order.
How much do tyres for a BMW R 1250 GS cost?+
120/70-19 fronts start at R1 680 and 170/60-17 rears start at R2 085, per tyre in stock today. The cheapest front and rear together cost R3 765. The cheapest matching pair of one tyre model is the Continental TKC 80 at R4 470. Fitting is usually extra. Prices change weekly.
Can I fit a different tyre size on my BMW R 1250 GS?+
Stick to the sizes the manufacturer approves for your bike and wheels. A different width or profile changes how the bike steers and leans, and can upset the ABS and traction control. Never mix radial and bias-ply tyres unless the manufacturer allows it.
Should I replace both BMW R 1250 GS tyres at the same time?+
Not always. Rear tyres usually wear out before fronts, so many riders replace the rear more often. If you replace only one, fit the same tyre model as the other end so the pair is designed to work together.
