Quick question Joker if you are still around, do any of the mob on your side of the pond run anything wider than the 235/50 TIRs you recommended? One guy here on TriumpPhils CT thread mentioned he ran Toyo 245/50 T1Rs, but the website only lists 245/55 ZR16s - anyhoos I am pretty sure that I will go with your Toyo recco - I've had 2 brown trouser jobs in the last week or so doing emergency stops, the rear end in both cases was all over the place, one set of lights I failed to stop (my fault, bad jusgement) so powered through, the other I could have gone through on a yellow but I saw a cager ready to cut across me and did not want to risk it so slammed the anchors in, fronts were great but the rear Metz!!!
Arrived about 4 foot past the lights in a cloud of burnt rubber. Very embarrassing having to waddle the bike back to the white line...
As I was skidding all over the place stopping I was literally saying to myself, 'Farking Metzlers!!!"
