    No way, no how.

    Edit: Contis are aiight, too. Go the GP4000s!
    Aren't metzlers made in Italy?
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    Dunno, do they have a factory in Italy? Never seen a Metzeler or a Conti that didn't say 'Made in Germany'.

    every set of pilot powers that i have used has had this line, on both front and rear tyres, with no ill effects on handling. i think you will find that this is how they are manufactured, i would be looking for other causes for your handling problem, ie lost a wheel weight etc.

    It really did look very unloved. Specially as it was next to the R1 that the whole crowd wanted to look at. Gixxer 4 ever

    Ummm we had a problem with a Pilote Sport. It delaminated on a road trip last week. We took it to Toney Rees shop and had it replaced. What a great shop by the way. The inside of the case was like new but the tread had delaminated from the case. I know it is not a CT Power but same problem.
