we had gathered at our meeting point prior to our ride yesterday and were standing around having coffee and telling lies. I mentioned to a fellow Rocket rider that i had just had to put a new tyre on the back...he looked down and said "How much for that?"...i told him its a Bridgestone Exedra max and it was 329 bucks plus fitting another 50....pretty darn good considering what you can pay for tyres i thought.
"Ive had that bridgestone on for 3 years" he said pointing to his rear tyre "and i wont have another one!"....
He went on to say it had done probably 15000 kms but it had let go when he twisted the throttle on the odd occasion and he didnt like it....the next tyre for him will be the new Metzler 888 he said.....better grip cos its a softer compound....wont last as long but he wants grip.....
So far i have had three Bridgestone Exedra max tyres on the rear of two Rockets and cannot fault them...i consistently run 42psi.....each to their own..
Had thought about the new Metz but want to see someone else try them first...
