Hello, just changed to new Metz tourance tyres -

 

however, cornering appears a little bit wobbly - is it my steering cone or the tyre thread?

 

(AT was my ex-bike. Now Vara1000)

Bro....is it yr front suspension spring soft n bouncy?? or yr rear suspension "gona scrap liao"??

 

Tourance Metz i use no problem lay....also corner here n there..no prob. but rainy days never really "kup" corner....so cant tell its wet grip gd or not...

[SimplyBoChap]

Smicerboy>> I did Damn now with JR. Found total of 3 bumps this morning. Went down to 219 at 1pm told to go to JR JR gave grandmother story and told me to PURCHASE a new tyre again from them, go to 219 to replace it and bring the other tyre back to them and they will send it to Germany to check If confirm Manufacturing Defect will refund me accordingly abt 90% of cost. Told them to FXXK Off and went back to 219 to settle it. After waiting 3 bloody hours at 219 the FXXKing replacement tyre had the same bumps!!!

The poor guy at 219 had a long chat with JR and passed the phone to me

This time round the FXXking JR guy told me that from Year 2004 onwards this is a new indicator from Metzler for Tyre Wear. The 3 bumps appear on the Top Tyre Wall near the Right Side Wall. They are inline with the TWI indicators on Top Tyre Wall near the Left Side Wall.

 

TOLD HIM TO FXXK OFF and emailed Metzler just now

 

THE REST OF THE BROS ON 2004 onwards TOURANCE tyres can kindly help me to check if if u guys have the same bumps

 

As 4 those who r thinking of changing KINDLY delay or choose another tyre until I have resolved this issue!!!!!
