Just some info for riders in central, Pa. In Oct 09, I had purchased a new metz rear tire from Velocity Cycles in Mechanicsburg, with a road hazard policy and installation for right around $300.00. The road hazard policy includes not only punctures and tire failures but also tire wear within one year, with up to three replacement tires per year. I did not post any info then because I had not any experience with the road hazard policy and did not know how the dealership would truely handle the "tread wear" part of the policy. I really was not to worried, because a friend that was a parts guy at Capital area Triumph moved to Velocity, and he informed me of the deal, and it is a very resposible dealership that sells Honda/BMW/Aprilla.
Long story short- I went in this past week with cords showing (@6000 miles) and had the tire replaced for $67.00. I was told that if I run through another tire (most likely) before the year is up in Oct that it too would be covered (three per policy year). I know there is quite a bit of controversy over MC or CT on this site. I was on the bubble considering going to a CT because I normally use 2-3 tires per year, however, I can live w/ buying one tire per year.
I am in no way trying to make a statement about MT/CT just offering a reasonable option for riders like myself that are more comfortable (in mind only because I have not tried a CT) using a MT.
In closing, it must be mentioned that in all conditions the bike and org tire purchased must be returned to Velocity for evaluation/replacement and I am not affiliated w/ Velocity Cycles in any way other than a satisfied customer.
