I had a 2000 LTC and I mounted my own tires, so it was just the cost of the tire. It's not that hard to do. For the rear, pull the lower part of the rear fender (two screws) loosen four lug nuts and the rear tire is in your hands. The front, a bit more work, but very much like changing the front on the connie, is short, not a major task. My only concern with BMW is their rear drive, they have had a lot of failures (RDF). To give you more info go to this site, join, and you will learn more than you can imagine about a LT. http://www.bmwlt.com/forums/index.php These guys know more than the factory and have as many (if not more) mods as our group does with the connie.
As for the ride and handling, it will spoil you. You want to do long distance, well it is the one to ride and you won't be tired. Get a backrest, some footpegs, set the cruise, and enjoy! Now I know you are wondering why did I sell mine, I bought it for two up rides, the wife went with me 4 times in 7 years and I am no longer doing long distance rides, thus no need for a luxury touring bike.
