Hello. this new tiger1200 rally pro is spectacular. I'm waiting for deliver it to me and I wanted to ask you one thing about stock tires; do they have good grip on both dry and wet roads? I have read some complaints about the bad grip in the fold.
I can't comment about wet roads since we didn't have any to ride on, but dry roads we had. The bike performed well with the Karoo Street tires even in some twisties. I did notice a pretty loud howl tire noise as certain speeds due to the scoops on this tire. I also took the Tiger down some gravel roads and it did fine. I think as an owner you have to get used to how the bike behaves in certain conditions, tires affect this behavior as well. I can say, that those Karoo Street tires may not like tar snakes since I had two little unexpected shifts on the road. I've never really been a huge fan of Karoos. I'd probably put a set of Michelin Anakee Adventure tires on this 1200. Sorry I couldn't answer the wet roads question.
@@tigerrider007 ok i will try them in the rain and if they don't give me good sensations i will immediately replace them with tkc 70 rocks or scorpion rally str. thanks anyway for the info. Greetings from Italy. ✌
