A big chunk of glass found a home in my rear tire. Has anyone replaced just the rear tire and found good results. I have the stock Metzler on my '04

Mileage around 4K so the rear was halfway gone. Is this the right size? My bike is sitting in Manhattan in the rain tonight.

 

Quote is from M.A.W.

Depends what you mean by the 'right' size. The officially recommended size if you have an '04 would be a 180, wouldn't it? Some choose to fit a smaller section.

Just for fun, there's an interesting dedicated site here for the Metz M3

Wow, nice site. The advent of the M3 may explain the good price on the M1.

 

I got it for $116 at Dennis Kirk. I hope to get it by the weekend.

 

Until then it is plug and pray!

If front is still good it's OK to just replace rear. any change in tyres will affect handling - just take it easy till you get used to it. Good idea to stick to same type f/r. Correct fitment for 5.5"rim is 180/55 (stock) or 170/60.

 

Antonio - how would you describe the effect of a 190. Like putting a pair of socks down your pants?
