XR1200X tire options

You will probably find that all the major tyre brands sell a suitable tyre. There are very few Harley-specific sizes, most Harleys use tyres that are widely used across the industry. My Buell Firebolt uses the same size as your XR and to date I've used Pirelli, Metzeler and currently Avon tyres. Look for sport or sport/touring tyres, as they are widely used across many bike brands. Start your search by checking tyre brand/importer websites, to get back to raw data, before checking tyre or bike dealers.
Being in Malaysia you will probably find that your local dealers of larger bikes stock suitable tyres.

Wow OP is from Malaysia.
He asks only about rear tires.
FWIW I always run the same brand and model, a tire set made to function together,
front and rear.
Not knowing your purpose, performance, long life, gravel roads? lots of rain, high speed/
low speed - opens a variable in the question.
Metzler has a good all around performance and life and may be readily available in Malaysia.
Michelin is a fine tire, just look to the OEM size and replace with the same size...but for me,
replace both front and rear with your new brand choice.
Have fun and good luck with your choice!

I run these Avons on my XRX and I absolutely love them. Incredible difference from the Dunlops.
