[QUOTE="murf, post: 35794, member: 1167"] Were any of the Metz tire problems traced back to a particular lot number or manufacturing date? I put a little over 7,000 miles on a set of MEZ4's with no problems and had approximately a third of the tread left. Recently completed a RT from MN to Glendale, CA on the FJR. Saw quite a few bikes with tires that should have been replaced long before being on a trip. Saw a fair amount of rear tires that were bald in the center, and several sport bikes had rear tires with the cords showing through in a couple of places. When you run a tire down that far, you are just asking for trouble. [/QUOTE]
