Continuing saga: Michelin Macadam tires (see thread under "discounts").
I bought this tire from the MotoRace warehouse in Massachusetts. Fast and free delivery. It is now mounted on the 1100. A few other riders have also purchased this tire from an Ebay ad.
There were concerns that this tire (discontinued in 2008) might have some aging problems due to deterioration. I encourage members who have bought one of these discounted tires to post their experiences here. I will do the same. Many thanks.
So, that said...I now have about 15 miles on the tire...and it's great! It seems to have a very stiff sidewall; maybe in an emergency it s could be run flat for a short distance? It seems quieter than the worn Metzler it replaced; too soon to really tell anything else.
