FSB. Re the wear on your tyre, is that the side you keep your wallet?

I'm a little puzzled after reading through this thread. Many of you have said the Bridgestone lasts longer, AND grips better than the Metz. Is the Bridgestone a magic tire? Normally a softer compound tire grips better, but doesn't last as long, and vise versa. Has Bridgestone figured out how to defy the laws of physics?

I think some compounds may be better at both than others, though what you say is generally true.

Haha Black. I wish that was the reason. TC good idea but a bit hard down to do down here in NSW.

Possibly the Metzler that was designed for the Rocket is a dripping handful of $hit ?

We can ill afford a tire like that when there are only 3 choices...

Be fitting Bridgestone/ Cobra combo on Tuesday. ME880 on the back is just about rooted , so they have arrived just in time

Put the Bridgestone on the back today. The Metz on the front still has life. Will that combo de OK?
