HellFire is Going Darkside !!!

[HansO]

Ok my Metz is nearly shagged again **** it I think I may have to swallow my pride and try a darkside tire. But in reallity we shouldn't have to I think it's time we got a petition going to get Bridgstone or someone to develop a MT for our beasts what do u guys think ?

Bridgestone do make a 240/55/16 bike tire, in fact a guy (he goes by the handle"ehh") from the other site uses one and was quite happy with it on the Tassie Salvo trip we rode in some horrendous Rain on the second day and he mentioned it squirmed a bit but the roads were very greasey and I think you will find most found it hard going I was towing my camper and taking extra care but my DS Toyo never looked like letting go

Mitch, I'm thinking of trying the Bridgestone next. Love the Cobras but the Bridgestone is slightly higher profile and thought I try it. Lonzol has one on Blackie. They're standard on the C109.

IF you are going to petition anyone, make it Michelin,
to develop a Pilot Road 2 dual compound tire for thr R3.
Excellent wear (no flat spotting on hiway) and great handling (on my BMW, anyway).
