new ones due any day,after many years of commited pirelli use i have decided to try a bit of the opposition mainly down to cost.one of the reasons the xt was bought was to try to keep the costs of owning a bike down a bit but still maintain the fun factor.(and keep me licence) but at 1500 miles a rear i think thants a bit silly..and expensive.anyway ive gone for a set of metzler rennsports at �125 the pair .any opinions on them so we know what to expect greatly appreciated and will update as soon as as they have been mildly abused.
