Rocket 3 Roadster 2011 Tyre Choice and Compatability

[Rocket3dude]

Hi All,

Just a quick question, I'm hearing differing tales regarding the best "All-Round" tyre choice for the Roadster. I've currently been running Metzler front and rear, but the rear is due for changing very soon!! I undsrstand that the Avon's give better mileage under normal conditions etc, but my main concern is that the front Metz has plenty of mileage left, soooooooo if i decide to go for the Avon rear, will it be perfectly OK to run with the Metzler front, and with no adverse handling issues. I'm not a slow or tinkerer of a rider as I tend to throw her about, ride hard and enjoy the adrenelin rush. Shes used in all weathers when the need arises but the majority of time its dry use.

Any advice/help would be appreciated. Rocket 3 Roadster 2011

Cheers

Should be fine. I rode around for probably 1200 miles with a rear Metz and front Avon... No issues.

No problem mixing breeds of tire ju8st dont mix radial tyres with bias ply tyres or so ive been told. I run an avon cobra up front and a bridgestone exedra max up back and this will remain my combo. i wouldnt run metzelers even if they wher free i hate them

I think the Bridgestone Extendra Max is the all around best rear tire for the R3R... They have great grip, they wear very well, and the slight extra height improves handling... And just in case you are wondering, the ABS works fine with a stock front and the x55 rear...
