TYRE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A GPZ1100B1

The tyres on my GPZ1100B1 are very old and of dubious quality. I am looking for recommendations for replacements bearing in mind its a 19inch front 18inch rear.
Not too bothered about wear rates would rather they stuck to the road then lasted an age.
Cheers

I have nothing bad to say about BT 45's on the J but havent tried anything else.
Not sure if the BT 45 will handle the extreme power of the GPZ so will defer to others.

Bt45's it is then thanks Guys. Just one more question what sizes do you have fitted.
Al I will let you know if they cope with the EXTREME power of the GPZ if they do then obviously they will be ok for your J.

Michelin A48 and M48 worked a treat on my B1 Ian , wore the footrests away , it was 1985 though and i was fearless then

100/90 front and 130/80 rear on a 2.15 GPz rear wheel.
Yes perhaps you could let me know as i'd hate to spent all that money when solid tyres or old inner tubes stuffed with newspaper would have been just as good.

I think I have a spare GPz badge you can stick on so at least you can look the part
