Howdy Folks,
I noticed this last trip the Metz rear was getting quite a bit shallow. My last experience on a Metz rear was some time ago, but it went from shallow to showing thread in a heartbeat. Rolling around Motorcycle Superstore it seems like there is a whole new crop of tires since I last bought them some years ago, and I would appreciate any thoughts you might have. Particularly on tread life, highway manners, and behavior on the backroads. I don't canyon carve, but that info might help for others reading.
Here are the candidates it seems:
Shinko 230 Tour Master
Continental - Conti Go
Michelin - Pilot Activ
Bridgestone - Battlax BT-45V
and Metzeler - Lasertec, what I have on there now.
Any comments would be appreciated, especially on the Shinko tires.
