From an e-mail solicitation I received, Chaparral....

If I didnt have a set of T30 GT's sitting in the garage, Id be all over that deal.

I wasn't too impressed with metzelers. But at that price, I could get impressed. I have a brand new set of PR4GT's on he bike and a set of PR3's in the garage. Still tempted to order these.

 

[ElliottM]

Thanks for the tip, Spud. I was just about to hit submit to order a pair of PR4GTs, but for less than half the price I think I may give these a try.

I have only used a Z6 once on the rear and I wasn't that impressed, but for $157 for a new set of tires that is hard to resist.

 

[VMaxChuck]

Thanks for the heads up Spud!

Just ordered up a set to try!!

Z6 front is my preferred tire, rears OK but get a little noisy after a while. Good grip, good in the wet. Run them at 40F/42RR.

I love having a motorcycle which uses commodity commonly available tire sizes. Sure beats PC800 and GL1800 tire choices.

 

[HelzBelz]

Damn.. I just chewed up my Bridgestones tearing up Wyoming/SD this weekend. Was all set to finally pull the trigger on some PR2's or 4's.. Then this happens. dilemma..

I love my Z8's but they have been replaced by Roadtecs, that is a sweet deal on the softer version.

Nice. Anyone know how these compare life-wise and performance-wise to the PR4GT? I had planned on those for my second set after the stockers burn out, but these Metzellers are at Shinko pricing.

Thanks, Ignacio. Was literally in the middle of looking for this info.

 

[SacramentoMike]

Couldn't resist the deal, even though my current set is brand new. The set cost less than either one of them. Thanks Spud!

Just replaced my tires after NAFO, but hey nothing better that having a new set on the shelf.

Thanks for posting up this deal.

Damn it! I just ordered a set of PR4s this afternoon so I could have a fresh set of tires for EOM in two weeks. I hate to wreck a fresh $325.00 set of PR4s on the slab to EOM and back and I don't think my PR2s with 5000 miles on them will make it down and back.

 

[bruinFJRguy]

I bit. Most of my research indicates these are on par or near par with the alternatives I might have selected, at $100-200 less.

Well you could always burn up these on your trek and save the PR4s for after.

I had the same thought, but after spending $570.00 for a set of PR4s and knobbies and tubes for the XR650L, I think I am done buying tires for today.

 

[Intech]

Pulling the trigger. I just can't resist a set for the cost of one tire.
