I have been trying different tires to see how they last.
I currently have a 880 METZELER 130/70/18 on the front. It has 7,000 miles on it, still looks great, and may go another 2 to 3,000. Very impressive. Handles great.
I have a 880 METZELER 210/50/17 on the rear. Just barely fits. It has 3,500 miles on it. May last another 2,000 and its toast. Not impressed. Center is going away.
These are supposedly both 880 high mileage tires. I think they sent the wrong rear tire.
So far the best front has been the METZELER 130/70 and the best rear has been the stock dunlop. (11 to 12,000 miles). Problem is, I do not like to run unmatched tires.
I have a matched set of Bridgestones exedras (130/70 and 200/50). waiting to go on next. These are about $260 a pair delivered. Thats better than $400 for stock.
I will keep you guys posted. 27,000 miles plus.
