It's the XR I will need new tyres for but the differential will be the same for the RS.

I have had the 2016 XR since July. It came with Bridgestone T31 fitted. Rear tyre is not long for the world and I will change the pair. I would be happy to use the T31 again.

My other bike is the R1200RS of course and this has Avon Storm 3DXM which are excellent tyres.

From an email with my local tyre emporium, Chris Mullins in Gloucester:

Zitat
a pair of T31 would cost you fully fitted £275.00 in . The Avon 3DXM would be £195.00 and the Michelin Road 5 will be £290.00

I think it will be the Avons then...

yes, £255 for a pair of S21 ride in ride out
more touring than sport tyre, T31 £275

both prices, ride in, drink coffee, ride out - Protyre is a national chain of franchises. My nearest one does not do bike tyres but I have used the one in Gloucester for many years. It is 500m from another bike tyre place so prices may vary in other places.
