You will truly enjoy the GT6 and hopefully you're pairing to its mate on the front!

Yes, if you lower the rear it changes the rake and trail to neutralize the steering, but does nothing to change the profile of the tire itself. With the more aggressive (pointed) profile the intention is to give you more contact at lean angles which is fine. It is more a personal preference than a condemnation of tire choices, everyone has a different style.You can tune for that by adjusting the rear suspension height.
.... User name 'H'ound ???It's strange how Americans treat the title "Santa Claus" as if it's a Christian name and surname.
"Santa Claus" is just an abbreviation of "Saint Nicholas". Therefore by referring to the fat guy in the red suit as "Santa", you're simply calling him "Saint" rather than his name.
Traditionally he was "Father Christmas" here in Blighty, but Americanism is creating the "Santa" thing here too.
Bah humbug!
So the Road 6 sounds like the best option. Even though it's not GT rated? What about the Bridgestone Battleax T32 GTs? Hear any good things about them? Mileage?I bought my 07 new in 07. The oem Dunlops did not last long. I drove on PR 2, 3, 4, 5, and some GT of those version ever since. The Road 6 does not come in a GT yet but the Road 6 did not disappoint this summer until a slate rock screwed . A plug patch cured that and I have over 9000km so far. This new will replace the cut one my late June
I have two 1100s, one with T31s and the other with T32s. I have to use non-GTs to stick with OEM tire sizes, which I prefer for best cornering. I'm also not a high-mileage rider, so I can't really comment on tread life.What about the Bridgestone Battleax T32 GTs? Hear any good things about them? Mileage?
After a day of researching tires, I just pulled the trigger on the Battleax T32 GTs. Ordered from Rocky Mountain ATV for $385 shipped. Should get them Jan 3. Thanks for the input everyone!I have two 1100s, one with T31s and the other with T32s. I have to use non-GTs to stick with OEM tire sizes, which I prefer for best cornering.

So, what good am I? I can tell you that, once you get the suspension adjusted for best steering response, they are both great fun and confidence-inspiring. I would encourage you to try the T32 GTs in stock sizes.
The worst that could happen is you may try another brand next time.After a day of researching tires, I just pulled the trigger on the Battleax T32 GTs. Ordered from Rocky Mountain ATV for $385 shipped. Should get them Jan 3. Thanks for the input everyone!
RP4GTsBy the time you wear out the Battleax tires it seems everybody has changed everything from profile to compounds, it makes this a good place to ask about preferences on riding and wear, in the past I found some to be aggressive in the tip in, which is my riding style. Looking at the tire profile and wear characteristics in the tire that are coming off are a good way to see how you ride. It helps to decide what you might want.
