Hi Im looking to replace the rear tyre on my R1100GS soon and as there is none in stock @ my local bike shop to compare tread depths I was wondering what the tread depth is on a new metz tourance ..anybody know ? cheers :)
 
What will tread depth tell you? It's the rubber compound that will determine grip and durability.
 
Had same problem here in Australia, I went with TKC70 because that was the replacement many peopel were raving on about.
Briilliant tire.
have done MANY long distance straight line days (1000km / 120km/hr average) and hardly gone square.
Ridden in the rain on slick roads as well, and feel confident on them.
 
Its mainly the tread depth I want to know on a tourance rear ,as I switch back and forth between my r1100gs and my other bike I cant really afford over £100 for a rear tyre to square off in a few thousand miles and wear down as I only do mibbe 5000 miles on the GS a yr ..
 
I'm intrigued, though..............

If the new tread is 8.7mm, and yours currently is 3.8mm (say) - what can you tell from that (apart from 4.9mm of tread being gone)
