$600 w/o tires seems to be the going rate around here. Slightly more for chrome.

The price is fine *if* the tires are usable. Keep in mind that the stock 7 series tires are WAY too tall for a 2GS

Well, hope not to encounter none of the misidentity sightings from others.. that could be good & bad thing haha. Stay clear ! I never really post pics on any of the forums I frequent but these are a no brainer as to how they look on our cars

For the record, my 245-35-19 fit great in the front with a fender roll.

In the rear I have 265-35-19. I've shaved and clearanced over and over and although I am close, I just can't get it to completely clear. As a result I just ordered 255-35-19 to replace the current rears that are on their last leg.

I run 245/35 & 265/35 PS2's F & Conti 3's R and the rears clear fine UNLESS I go up an elevated ramp & shift the weight totally to one side or the next when I cut it at an angle. I had cut/shaved my rear fenders totally to about flush as it can get (treated), fronts stock. Straight line or slight road twists I'm good. I refuse to run anything smaller for tire sizes Some tires run a bit wider than some I may add. There is NO finger gap between tires and fender F & R on mine. Only my front UCA knocks here & there over aggressive bumps (NY, go figure every 10" bump lol). I 'spirit' drive alot so I have dialed it in as such riding on BC coils with upgraded Swift springs and + KG rates
