Interesting read thanks for sharing it with us. I have Metzeler Z8s on at present and will keep a close watch after 5000 to have a plan to change them on the 6000 service.

Same here Spencer.  My Z8s have now done just short of 5,000.  They're ok.  They've given me no reason to distrust them but they don't inspire the confidence that I had in my Multistrada with PR4s fitted.  Hard to know if that's just me getting used to a new bike or the PR4s really are better.


I plan to put PR4s on at the service and then I guess I'll know!

I guess they liked it - smart guys!

Funny they never noticed the far less than perfect GPS mount.

Good find, thanks for posting...8k miles on mine now, and on my second set of Conti GT's. And I agree the RTLC is probably the best all-rounder you can buy.

Very positive review, imagine how much more they would have liked the ride had they been on a 2012 CanHead! : )

Bet they have in the distant past.
