Default RE: CHECK YOUR METZLER TIRES (BRAZIL)

Quote:
ORIGINAL: cardboard

I got the 880's on front and back of my bike, had no traction issues. I lay curves at 70-80 mph. Rode at 90 on the interstate in the rain. no problems either. To me they ride better than dunlops.
His traction issues were with stopping. The wheels would lock and skid easily if he had to brake hard, even on dry pavement. It was so bad he nearly crashed because of it. After that he parked the bike until he could get new tires. He said he never had that problem with his old tires, it didn't show up until he had the Metzlers put on. I don't know what Metzler tire they were, just that they were whitewalls.
