There seems to have been a problem with some Tourance front tyres. Perhaps a bad batch.
My bike came with Bridgestone Trailwings. Didn't like them. Lasted 9000km. Then tried Michelin Anakee. They were OK, and lasted 10000km. Then a set of Avon Distanzia, which had been good on the F650GS. But they only lasted 6000km on the 1200GS. Got another set and ran them with higher pressures. They lasted 8,000. Now I've fitted a set of slightly used Metzler Tourance, but haven't had a chance to try them out. Have only ridden them home from the tyre shop, but didn't notice any wobble at all.
Of these I preferred the Anakees, and will probably go back to them at the next change. Either that or try Bridgestone BT-020 street tyres.
