    Metzler Sahara 3 update. Put front and rear on bike (BMW R100GS). Done just under 3500kms last week and they performed very well in all conditions. Rear is now toast, front is still looking good.
    I mentioned vegetables once, but I think I got away with it...........

    The yank's were crowing about them as they were much better than the 705, and made in the US.

    EO7's a good choice & run the front backwards better braking on the metal & makes no difference to handling on the seal

    Saw Shrek commenting so took a look and decided to 'chime in' - Fitted a TKC80 front and MitasE07 rear to my R1200GS last October - done 12000km since then - TKC80 almost done - going to Whanga on it this weekend. Rear Mitas about half worn at 12000km. Subject to finances this is my favourite tyre combo. This use includes travel to the 'Burt' last year via Molesworth and Nevis, Cape to Cape with Taranaki Hard Core, and recently travel to Wanaka via the West Coast (both ways) to see my daughter.

    Yeah ran a E07 for over 15000km and was still going on 2nd bike when I sold it. Sound like they wear well on bigger bikes too then , Looks like I better order a set .

    Where are you guys buying tyres from nowadays? It's been a while since I needed one. I'm after a Dunlop 21inch D606 & they're nearly $200 - talk about having heart palpitations thinking about getting my wallet out for that kind of dollars.
    Seen them on cyclettreads.
    Worthwhile getting one from OS?

    ADV tyres still cheaper overall here in NZ. Only top of the line ($XXX+) sportsbike tyres are worth the shipping from USA at normal rates.

    No dunlops but got Pirelli at great price from these guys http://www.motoone.co.nz/tyres-558/dual-purpose-600
    And just had a Michelin rear for GSXR overnighted from Cycletreads... but often it seems they are out of stock....
