Hi everyone. Quick question as to what size Michelin pr4 tires to get in the GT version. I scoured the forum and see that a few of you have opted for the GT version but I was unable to see what sizes you opted for since the oem size is not available. If you do the math the closest tire to oem height in the GT version is the 190/55/17 then the 170/60/17. Any input from those of you with them would be appreciated. Is the extra width noticeable when riding and especially in turns? I have a Givi 55ltr trunk and load the NT up pretty good. I also plan on riding two up with gear and luggage and figured the extra money on the GT's may be worth it. Thanks Tom.

I can't answer your question but I would recommend you get the standard PR4's in the recommended sizes for the NT. Many have toured with them carrying heavy loads with no problems.

My son who rides a much heavier and more powerful C14 is switching from the GTs to the standards. He says the GTs are overkill.

But if riding heavy on the GTs makes you more comfortable then go for it.
