Different Make Of Tyres Now Available For Rocket

As the title says there is now a choice of tyres for my Rocket, The Avon cobras that come as standard have been great but now there's a choice I've bought a set of Metzeler 888 Marathon Ultras which will hopefully get fitted next week, It will be interesting how they compare to the Cobras for grip and wear.
i also bought a pair of Metzeler Tourance next 2 for my GS (pictured on the right)

 

Tell me about it! this will be my 4th set of tyres for the Rocket (woudn't mind if they wernt so expensive) so i'm hoping the Meztelers last a little bit longer. got to agree with you the Avon Cobras have been great

 

It's the 240 rear that does it Steve, i cant bring myself to write down the price though, i try not to think about the cost,just like the fuel saying that i think all tyre prices are going up just like everything else. i might have to start going out on my bike just twice a week instead of nearly every day!

 

If Only

 

I had a 240 on one of my Harleys about 15 years ago ,can't remember the make of tyres but they were expensive, although nowadays with me having more free time I'm doing about double the mileage which doesn't help!
