ME880 Milage Poll 3 Years, 2 Months ago  
Maybe I am a knucklehead, but I see no poll featuer here. Looking to see what kind of milage people are getting out of ME880s. Front and Rear. I heard they were playing with compounds recently and wonder if I got a softer compound than normal.

Please list
Milage Front
Milage Rear
German or Brazilian
Speed rating if you know it.

I have 7,500 on my front, Brazilian and it looks to have at least another 7,500 in it.

I have 7,500 on my rear, Brazilian and it is shaped like a car tire now and if it made it another 500 I would be stunned.

Replacing the set with Dunlop Elite III's - no white walls, but at least I may be able to ride more than 6 months before I have to replace my tires.

Hi Crash,
I've got about 5k on my front, still looks brand new. I replace my rear just a couple of weeks ago. The old one had a little over 10k on it, and was still legal, but I was going on a trip and didn't want to have to change it out on the trip. Both mine are German Metzler's. I hear that the Brazilian Metzlers are of lesser quality, with some reporting that the tread is lind of sluffing off.<br><br>Post edited by: aceman, at: 2005/10/03 15:09

I've got about 5,000 miles on the back and it will have to be replaced soon. The tread is almost gone down the centreline.

The front is the same mileage and looks like it should be good for 15,000.

Made in Germany.

Speed rating is H.
