Default Tires

My 01 EGC has a Metzler on the real and today I had it up on the jack and noticed that its seperating in several spots, Prob gonna go back with the Dunlop. What kind of tires do you guys like. My Metzler has got prob at least 12k on it. I didnt really like the way it handled when I first put in on.

Something was telling me to put the bike on the jack today. Guess it saved my butt. Not gonna invest in Metzler again.

If yoy got 12K out of a rear tire it is time for a new one anyhow.
