Different diameter.

 

ok...its better then stock on my bike....lower profile and works better with the sixth gear.....

 

what he said and the MPG was the same but felt like 10 more HP

 

I purchased the new ME800 in the 200/55 17 today from Dennis Kirk. I liked the way the Metzlers ride, but could not deal with blowing through the tire every 5,000 miles or less on the 210/50. I was reading that the 200/55 is not a z rated tire, but a v rated and should get better life than the old 210/50s were giving me. All I can do is try one and see how it does, I hope to have it here by next Wednesday.

 

I tried the Metzeler 880 210/50/17, got about 5-6k out of it.
Indy had a Metzeler 880 200/55/17 in stock so i'm trying it out now.
Time will tell how long it lasts....................

 

let me know as i just bought a 200/55-17 cross bones tire. the last one has 9000 on it and seems another 2k was left but i am going to sturgis and wanted to check before i get there. the last metzler also cupped when almost done and the cross bones tire was even

 

How did that tire work for you?
Thanks

 

No better than the first.
I'm sticking with the Avon Cobras from here on out.
