Has anyone had these fitted to an lc yet, or they still waiting to be produced?
I messaged Michelin through FB last month before my holiday and they said BMW OE demand meant they were delayed until August.
I just fitted new Metzeler Roadtech 01 again, brilliant tyre.
Friends of mine who run them on s1000r and similar love them but they don't seem to last any longer than anything else 3000mls up to 4000 if touring seems to be the mark. I am going to try pirelli scorpion trails this time, got them ready in the garage, they have loads of rubber in the centre, so may last for two trips. My trips tend to be about 2500mls over a week, it just seems to be that whenever I am going on a trip my tyres are half worn and won't last for the duration.
15 years ago we used to get 3500 mls out of rennsports including two trackdays, all the improvements on modern tyres seems to be used up on the extra (needed ?) HP.

I put a set on mine before I went away for 3 weeks at the end of June. Loads of tread left after 4000 miles
And yes a great tyre. At least equal to the PR4s I had. The front does seem to track a bit at speed though.

Mine should be on next week.

Really, that’s cool, where are you getting them from and do they do mail order?
