So I got to take the bike out on some nice canyon roads today to check out the new metzlers. They did not diappoint. Lke I said last time, the bike just falls into the turns wth ease. I don't feel like I am pushing it into the corners, it jsut flows now. The tires are nice and sticky too. I am much more cmfortable taking corners at speed, or doing anything on the bike now atspeed than I was before. It is smoother as well. The road seems much less bumpy, and on the freeway I don't feel like the rain grooves are pulling on my tires as there aren't any tread that go in that direction. I don't know how many miles I will get, but I am already so much ahppier with these tires that it doesn't really matter. As for the chicken strips on the tires, they are about 1/2 inch now as opposed to the inch and a half they were before.

 

Do they ride that much better than the stock ones
that moco puts on?

 

Like night and day brother, night and day....

Primo

 

Much better, I have about 4k on the ones on my RKC and they have lots of tread left and handle better than the LOPS ever did. Worth it not to get jerked all over the road by rain grooves. I can get DUNLOPS for FREE and I still went with Metzlers.

 

I figure I got maybe 3000 before I need to change. I think
I'm going to try them. That's what I like about this board,
unbiased reviews.

 

They really do make that much of a difference...

 

yea but did you wear gloves??

 

Only on one hand...

 

I have the me 880 on the rear and a stock "lop" on the front..waitin for the damm snow to melt so i can go for a road test.

 

best tires out there been running me88 for 10 years you will get about 10,000 miles on them,best handling tire out there but run them as a match set front and rear
