Finally ditched the stock Metzelers for some good tires. Wow, what a difference! Maybe it's the 190/55, but feels like a different bike. The front end never felt planted before, always felt a little loose, especially cold. Can't wait to see how they feel once broken in!!!

I have about 1500 miles on mine now and I am VERY impressed with them. I haven't ridden in the rain yet with them, but I am sure they will be fine. Turn in seems good, feel is good too. I have gotten a very tiny bit of slip mid corner when I was pushing quite hard. But honestly there was some dust on the road and I never felt like it was an issue. Just a very slight wiggle.

All in all, I'm very pleased with them. Now I just need to get some miles on them and see if they will last 10K like I hope they will. I got almost 7K out of the stock M5's so I think it just might do it.

I see no reason to get anything else after these are worn out, unless I switch to a 190/55. I currently have the oem size.

The most retarded tire I ever owned for riding in the rain! Fantastic grip! I had days worth of rain miles on em. Hydroplaned the front tire once, but that was my own fault for riding too fast with standing water on the road. Add in the traction control and you've got an amazing sport touring setup with these tires!

You don't relize what you are missing, until you get rid of the shitzlers ....

Just got a set of Pilot Road 4's, it feels like a different bike !

I did get the 55 profile, which turns in much better than the 50 profile ...

The front shitzler was cupping, and it still has a lot of tread, the rear was
Getting tears in it, and it also had tread left ....

My advice, ditch the Metzlers ASAP ! they probably aren't even the dual compound you
Would get if you bought the aftermarket ones at the shop !

You might also try the Dunlops....very good mileage and grip...dry or rain.
