Sorry, tire question again and the owners manual

[maxscycle]

My r1200gs owners’ manual says to replace tires with "BMW/NA approved" tires. And that I should see my dealer for the list of tires that are approved. They are 85 miles away. Does anyone have a list of the "approved tires"? I know I see lots of tires on GS's and everyone has their opinion, but even radial tourances, vs. the Karoo's some are bias ply, some are radial. I am guessing I should not put a bias and a radial on the bike at the same time but what can I expect if I switch back and forth from radials to bias to radials.
Thanks

this is just a quick suggestion, but couldn't you call them on the phone? i'm sure you don't actually have to *see* the dealer to get a valid answer from them?

Use whatever tires you like. Preferably tires that fit.

The best tire depends on the riding. If mostly highway or paved Metzler Tourances or Michelin Anakees are great. For more dirt and off road Continentals work better. As for inflation everyone is different- weight, loading etc. Experiment around and measure airpressure gain from cold to hot. Search for Flash 412's advice. Its first class on tires.
