jackyboy Is it a car tire and what do call a short life cycle? On both my 05 and 07 about 8000 plus is all I get out of a rear Metzler.

The stickier the tire the shorter the life it is going to have. Metzeler ME880 is by far the most popular aftermarket tire but most get 8K-10K out of it depending on riding style.

I hope everyone knows I'm kidding! I'm thinking of going to the Dark Side myself as soon as my Michelin Commanders wear out. I just wanted to stir the pot & have a little fun!
