Mail order no problem or maybe ask a local dealer to price match.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
There's a guy just down the road that does most of my work (Gary from the bike base or GS Tyres - two names same place!) He usually beats many other places for tyres around the local area. I'll prob give him a call and see what he can do. But £130 seems magic to me for a bloody good tyre

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Haha sorry getting way of topic here! I can't deny the mileage is exceptional and with the fact it's a mis of all different type of riding in all weather's just adds to it. Makes you think though what will be next of the evolution of tyres!

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
As I'm on the zx6r at the moment I'm back on these tyres, with a new front.
Loving them in all weathers, they really do make biking in the crap weather worthwhile. No issues at all.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Unfortunately not Tony, I ve just checked the Metzler website for you.
Hopefully this link works and should show pretty much all tyres available from all manufacturers in 170/60/ZR17.
There a good company as well and would happily recommend. I ve had 3 sets of tyres of them this year and never found cheaper anywhere and tyres are always recently manufactured 2015 stock not old items as many cheap tyres are.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Rides like tonight remind me how good these tyres are. Hard braking and the front is solid. There's a couple of left handers I use getting on the motorway and I'm doing the same speeds in the rain.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
Two 100 degree left handers with 20m between them first one rises and second drops. Both are one car width wide and have 6 inch high kerbing to them to prevent people switching lanes. Both have a camber and are used by HGVs.Blade wrote:Isn't that saying your not going quick enough in the dry
If you want to show me how to take them faster give me a shout. I'm free all weekend.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
I would have thought it quite easier to go quicker in the dry there's more grip available.

Re: Kwacky's ongoing M7rr Metzeler review
The last time we were on the same bikes riding the same piece of tarmac this happened.
But by all means tell me I should be doing two corners you don't know using tyres you've never ridden at a much faster speed in the dry.

I simply thought it was common sense it's possible to go quicker in the dry. You obviously didn't get the gag
