[QUOTE="mr.paul, post: 320841, member: 6454"] OK, I know tire threads are the close cousin to oil threads, but at least you can see the damage from tires. My 2 cents...I have run a number of Metz 880's with my last bike, a Vmax with up to 18,000 miles form a set and never any issues from a number of sets. Having said that, they are not Z's. Went 11,500 on the original Z6's on my 2006 FJR and thought they were among the best tires I have run. MCN's survey of FJR riders found them to be the preferred tire. I replaced them with another set of Z6's and replaced my wife's origiinal Bridgestones on her '05 ST1300 with a set of Z6's. We'll see how the this set runs. I am that confident. Her original Bridgestones suddenly wore off on the sides of the crown and almost caused her to crash. Next set though I might try the Pilot Roads. Just too many people love them to ignore them. Isn't choice a great thing? Sorry about your fight with Metzeler. They should be better about this. By the way, were you at CFO? mr.paul from Minnesota [/QUOTE]
