Tires

Ive got 5000klms on my Metz and i think it might have 1000 to go then its a Brigestone.
 
I ordered a BS Excedra front tyre today... hell.. the price in Perth is $340.00.
Metz $280 .. Avon Cobra $310. and they call us the lucky country

Metz Rear 7000km

Avon Rear 12500km
Avon front to date 17500km

Running Rear BS Exedra Max 240-55
Front replacement will be BS Excedra on Saturday
 
You can get a Shinko 757 150/80 for $230. And get a lot better grip, mileage and steering response

Can't say about my fantastic rear cos OP didn't want to know how much better grip I get than the lousy Metz that gave me 6,000 km of slip sliding


Sorry the little in me made me do it
 

Thanks Hans I did check the Shinko a while back mate, I was referring to prices generally, including our living expences , no doubt there is the a Carbon tax in there somewhere

As for your fantastic rear tyre that is.. Im glad it works for you..

I wanted to try the BR front and rear match, although the Avon front has been great so its a difficult choice. But the Grinning will compensate
 
8000 miles on my Metz. Running a BS Excedra now with 5k on it and its starting to wear down pretty good already. Opening up the pipes and adding the KandN had alot to do with that though...
 
Hey Mittzy i am running the bridgestone exedra max and i got it at Two wheel tyres at blacksoil just ring a couple of days pryer and they order it in.
Cost $335 fitted


Might be the way to go.
