i really like this tire. But I've a question. Those of you that are running one, have you noticed that they have a magnetic belt inside?
I just plugged my 3rd fuggin hole out in the middle of bfe in less than 3000 miles - the one I had to do a while ago is the second one this week!!!!!!
Seems the magnetic strip is capable of picking up almost all screws on the road yes I've really been screwed lately
 
BTW The sidewalls on the Emax are not near as stiff as the Avon Cobra rear
 
I've been riding bikes for 30 years and the rocket is the only bike I've have punctures in the tyres. 3 times in two years, again two days ago.
 

Quit riding in the county dump.
No flats for me in over forty four thousand miles on my R3R with either the OEM Metzler and 6 Exedra Max on the rear or on an assortment of four front tires.
 
I've had 3 punctures with the Roadster. Nail, screw, and razor blade. None have left me stranded so that's good. The razor blade came close though. I was sitting at a red light in town and heard a hissing noise. New what it was and pulled into my buddies motorcycle shop a mile down the road. That was a close one.

I'm thinking the extra torque these bikes make whatever gets ran over just doesn't get ran over.... the tire wants to eat it.
