Seriously, I'm no judge of tires. I could run Inoues and not tell the difference. I am told Metzelers are one of the best, so why not? Tires are important.

Metzeler ME33/55 on my 750. No complaints. ME33 on the front of my EZ and a burnt out Avon AM21 Roadrunner on the rear. A new Metzeler ME55 will be going on the rear this spring.

Originally posted by oldschoolGSThats good to know. I was thinking of doing that a few years ago before deciding on a complete front end/wheel swap.
My idea was to run the ME-33 with a 140/3.5in rear radial tire. I have been sold on the front Metzeler 120/80VB-16 Comp K for many years, it was a superb front and I have used it over the years with many different bias ply rears.
At that time lots of people had negative opinions about the bias/radial setup, but as far as I could tell, no none had actually tried it.
Again, excellent info. Thanks, Ed.Komorebi-The light filtering through the trees.
I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. H.D.T.
