Anyone put Metzelers on their ride?
I see the tyre condition and had a call from Mosses asking for his tyres back!!!! (I had a mate years go that would buy a tyre and leave it on top of his shed for 12-18 months to 'harden' up; interesting theory until we found him one day off the road on a sweeper corner dead as. He rode hard and a buggered tyre did not help matters)
If in doubt replace. I like Night Dragons as they are a good all year tyre and do well in the hot summers and wet winters here in Melbourne. They still let loose like any tyre will but I find them predictable and controllable when they do, which is normally a direct response to my riding anyway..lol
You will find horror stories about EVERY brand of tyre if you look long enough (Worried about the Dealer comment though and if it was me I'd steer clear of them for ANY advice). The KEY thing is to settle on one brand and then you get to 'know' each other over the years so you understand the limits etc.
Yeh I got the Michelin’s on the sport glide also .. and most of the true shops have recommended them so I’m goin with the commander ll .. being fitted right now $650 for the pair ... Harley shop asking $870 and that’s with VIP discount ??????????????
Wello I think I remember your in perth...Tyres for bikes Vic Park always done me right I had a Pirelli Night dragon on the front of my Roadking & after a couple thou it started to split backwards from the tread groove , he took pics & sent it to manufacture, neither them or he knew WTF was happening but replaced it. just thinkin maybe sumfin to do with how Fekin hot the roads get there in summer upwards of 42*ambient is the norm ...glad I`m not a postie delivering in those temps anymore, had to drink plenty of Beer to re-hydrate Hahaha
