Because vou need the touring advantage 01bead retention. Highway touring is not a proposition undertaken lightly. It requires a carefully prepared bike, proper riding clothes and, most important, good tires between you and the road. That's where Goodyear's Eagle G/T II helps. Eagle G/T II is a high-performance motorcycle tire with the touring advantage of bea d retention. Goodyear's bead retention device is a special lip on the sidewall of the Eagle G/T II. Its purpose is t o help retain the tire on the rim in cases where t he t ire suddenly loses ai r pressure. Tire footprint is also important t o highway to uring . The Eagle G/T II's tread profile puts a large footprint on the road. And the flatness of that profile helps smooth the transition between the demands of the straightaway and the demands of cornering. This Eagle also has a special centerline g roove to resist heat build up during sustained highway speeds. The Eagle G/T II rear comes in sizes MT90-16 (5.10-16), MT90-17 (5.10-17), MN90-18 (4.00-18), MR90-18 (4.50-18), and MT85-18 (5.10-18). The G/ T II rib front comes in sizes ML90·1 9 (3.50-19 ) and M N90-18 (4.00-18). , Ask t he tire expert-your mo torcycle dealer.
