Finally got to scrub some tire..

[Wade'sWorld]

I put on a little over 500 miles this last weekend riding with some friends...I got to follow a Slingshot and a fully traxxioned Goldwing on Saturday, lets say the pace was fairly quick and I was very surprised by the handling characteristics of the rocket...

I'm confused by your photo.
Are you showing us your Metzeler tire or your chicken strips?

 

[Wade'sWorld]

Lol...yeah after looking closer at the pic it does look like a big chicken...but I do like chicken..

I think 1olbull rounds the tires to the rim. Chicken strips = sidewalls

I couldn't remember what those things were called...I knew someone would enlighten me and poke some fun...lol..

Yea, you gotta wear them titty's off!

Due to their awful profile on the front tire I don't know anyone that can get the chicken strips down close to the edge like you can on Avons.

These were one pass on the Talihina scenic road. New Bridgestone Excedra rear and Metzler front. 4700 on the front tire!

Hopefully @Paul Bryant will see this thread and kindly post a pic or two of some of his collection ! when you wear tyres like he does , you will attract a lot of attention at your local tyre shop . when the edge of your tyre is worn , it's satisfying . when it looks like it's been attacked with an oxy acetylene kit ? Well that's one very angry rider !
