Tire wear on a loaded GS with pillion around Portugal was frightening. Handles fine in wet and dry, but 2500miles tops and showing the cord, strangely enough on the side walls with the center with a little tread left. Basically the tire will not do a European tour in the windy roads. This is the worst tire for wear I have ever had, and won't be fitting another.

What BMW R1200gs adventure drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
This is my 4th set on 1200gs. And they have never disappointed me. Throw at the twiesties or gravel they will hamdle it, as long as you know what you doing.
Will carry you over gravel easily.
Road wise great dry grip when warm can put pannier down on bends.
Great on went too
