New Metzeler Tourance EXP

[Rich-v]

Has anyone got any feedback on these updated Tourance tyres?

I'm about to get shut of the death-wings the bike came with and wanted to fit the original Tourance tyre but if someone can convince me otherwise...

Don't get the tourance EXP, they don't last long and aren't that confidence inspiring in the wet or when riding flat out on the edges of the tyre. Continental trail attacks are the cats t!ts I've got EXP's on at the mo and will be putting conti's back on as soon as the back is goosed.

Contis eh? are they good for mainly on-road stuff? I hit the dirt only when turning into the pub and I go on the grass verge!

You'll be wanting the Road Attacks then, top tyre

Thanks for that Parky, they look sweet. I have to admit I'm fighting the urge to get Tourance simply for the "look" sad I know but they seem to be plenty grippy especially when you consider I used to scrape the stand and exhausts on my RD400 on some square unknown Chinese-type tyre before we all started worrying about the upper-envelope of grip that probably only Rossi could find if we're truthful. whoa.... I'll stop prattling now... cheers mate, food for thought.

The new EXPs not as good as the old ones, put a pair on my 1150,1000 mile commuting then a 4500 mile trip to turkey on return the back had no tread left in the middle and the front had broken up badly between the blocks, now gone back to the orginals

Thanks man, I think they are out of the picture now.... so, it's down to old-style Tourance or conti road or trail attack. Anyone else???
