Bridgestone exedra max

Been running the max/Avon combo and love it, but both need replaced on mine at about 7500 miles....granted I'm hard on the tires and it's not the centers that are too worn ;)
 
Hey, Bob! Don't think twice about switching over to the Exedra Max - that mental double-clutch is reserved for thinking about going to the DS!:roll:

I believe that I was the very first here to run the B'stone Exedra Max 240/55 VR16 and it seems that the vast majority who have done the same believe it to be the best overall rear tire currently available for our Beasts in that size. Better geometry (a little extra height improves handing and the slightly taller aspect ratio cures the nearly 7% speedo deviation on older models), longer life (10-20% better, all depending) and lowest price among competing products from all other major manufacturers make it a win-win-win.:thumbsup:

Are you home today? I want to give you a call, but don't want to bother you at work.
 
Pete the slightly taller aspect ratio (55) works quite well, so no worries! It also lasts longer than the OEM Metz and it near totally corrects the 7% speedometer deviation on our older R3s.

Here's the best price I could find with free shipping , short of an AMA or other membership that might qualify you for a further discount on any of the other common MC tire sites: Bridgestone Rear Exedra G852 240/55VR-16 Blackwall Tire - 127050 Cruiser Motorcycle - Dennis Kirk, Inc.

very good calmed some near/short term anxiety as i just pulled trigger 240/55 max 149.39 w/free shipping!
 
Been running the exedra max 240/55 vr16 on the rear of my last two Roadsters now and close to putting my 3rd one on...great tyre.
I have a cobra on the front now after the metz 880 but interested in the new 888 metz which will be on our shores mid november...they do have a very good review....I dont think anyone makes a 'bad' tyre....just what suits your riding style and roads best.
 
Saving a few bucks today could cost you dearly down the track. When it's no longer viable for bike shops to stock tyres and fit them for free you might find your bike off the road waiting for your internet purchase to arrive and then having to make a booking to have it fitted at a price that eats up most if not all of your saving. You should seriously think about supporting the businesses that provide the convenience of ride in/ride out, on the spot fitting or be prepared for a loss of convenience and amenity and evaporated savings. Just sayin'.
That would be great. Except the dealers around here do not keep the tire in stock. They want you to make an appointment to change the tire. They want to charge up to $80 to replace the rear tire even when I brought the wheel in without the bike. They do not have enough common sense to put balancing beads inside the tire without contaminating the wheel bearings. You'll get your wheel back with dirty fingerprints all over it and maybe even a scratch or two. If they go out of business it's no lost. The dealer where I bought my Tbird is no longer a Triumph dealer. After having dealings with them In would say it's no great loss.
