The pair I got from Ron Ayres were made in Germany. I read about the Brazilian facility not using the correct compond mixture when they first started production. I would be surprised ifMetzler wasn'taware of this safetyissue and took corrective action by now.

Finally got my Metzelers(Made in Germany,,NOT the brazilian made ones that people are trashing)...man what a difference!!!!...handling is so much improved its almost scary...:>....dosnt fight the turns now like the Dunlops...took me a couple hundred miles to get comfortable with them...its like a totally different bike...I went with the ME880 high mileage tires...never plan on owning another Dunlop...:>
OK, I checked and both of mine are made in Brazil.
The Metz response was low tire pressure. I am very good at checking tire pressure.
I have about 6K miles on them and over 1500 miles was in very hot conditions (105+ - Vegas baby).
The tires look good, but this is my life we are talking about.
