Hi guys,
These tires that you guys seem quite high on....for our bike, what do I ask for at the Dealership...
do they come in a "GT" version??
Or do I just ask for this tire plain-and-simple.

Just request the Roadsmart IV tire. There is only 1 version.

Agreed.
As for other tires that have a GT version (e.g. Michelin Road x tires) the GT tire provides no advantage (and I have travelled fully loaded on both), in my experience, but being slightly heavier increases unsprung mass. They may cost more as well.
