Sorry to barge in here like this, i did try and search this... But found nothing.
My son's Norge 850 needs a new rear tire, the OEM was the Metzeler Z6 Roadtec, which being a fan of Metzeler I'd normally tell him to renew...However it's scrubbed after only 6500km (4050miles) which is not good! :evil:
He bought the bike at 2800km and has done very little highway riding, most of it being mountain twistys, I've done almost exactly the same mileage on the same roads at the same speeds (spirited ) on my Stelvio's OEM Tourances, some of it with a pillion which my son never has, and they'll make the 11000+km I expect.
One explanation could be the previous owner never bothered to check pressures, but bearing in mind the low mileage; Could that result in such fast wear?
Anyway, he needs a new rear tire and the choices locally are:
Roadtec Z6
Roadtec Z6 Interact
Pirelli Angels.
Any experienced advice would be appreciated!
