Rear Metzeler goooooone

[1olbull]

I got 6K miles on this here Exedra Max . . .

I got 4,500klms on my original Metz, but it did die smoking

WOW that is bald

I still got another 5000 to go to get to that wear.

I got 4,800km out of Metz, 6,500km out of Avon and generally 10,000km from a Bridgestone.

RHS tyre wear is a combination of camber and the fact that for us right hand turns are a lot longer than left handers ie the bike is leaned over for a greater distance. Roundabouts are also a factor.

That's about what my rear tyres looks like when I roll in for a new one.
Still waiting for the Bridgestone Exedras to arrive in Perth.

Good explanation Richard. Makes sense.

Just got back from a round trip to Goulburn and I swear the rears had much more meat on them than this.

So after 8980kms the Rear Metz is gone. Interestingly the right side of the tyre is worn down. What the?

Can anyone explain? I swear I haven't been doing donuts ... clockwise.

One anti-clockwise doey for every 100k's forward ... even her out just nicely

I think it's because the early R3's have two mufflers on the right. Causes an imbalance.

My explanation would be crap tires. Both rear (4000mi) and front (5000mi) tires worn out on right side. Symmetrical mufflers and riding on the right side of the road. No I'm not riding side saddle either...
