[QUOTE="FJRocket, post: 28042, member: 299"] Wasn't there a rash of Metzler belt separations a while back? The stock tires were having problems and that particular tire which was stock on many FJR's? (Z4?) One of our EOM participants had exactly that problem with his front tire. Fortunately we were only 2 miles from a dealer in Lexington and they were able to fix him up pronto. Seems I remember reading a long time ago (on a borard far far away) that Metzler was making good on these, regardless of mileage? I've had a belt separation in a cage tire a couple times, but on a front mc tire, you're talking SCAREY! Talk about a Flintstone tire! I can't believe that Jay was able to ride that jackhammer to the dealer. The defect was so large that his bars were going up and down a couple inches at each harsh rotation. What pucker factor, waiting for that thing to self destruct. Even at 20 mph or less. YIKES! [/QUOTE]
