I have done almost 3500 road miles on my oem tyres and the time has come to get the rear replaced.
what do you guys recommend as best road tyre for the 1290?

How about some "Hover tyres":



I think you can get a kit to convert your 1290 to a "Hover Bike":



Or maybe tracked will work better for you:



In any case, what does it matter if you have traction control, right?

Did you try searching for something like "1290 tyres"?

yes i did actually and wasnt much help, much like yourself clever arse

I heard Shinkos are great on the 1290,

all bullshit aside, looks like most people are putting Q3's on the 1290.
