R1200C + front lasertecs

- david from BC, Canada
I am sure that many riding forums deal with the tire question BUT I replaced a metzleler with the upgraded lasertec and have found it to be a serious sporting tire, a cut above the last metzeler. The BMW R1200C is a sport-cruiser. Mine has an upgraded bitubo front end so it is far more responsive than an average BMW (which stock, is already pretty damned nice).

Short story is the lasertec conveys tons of road information, is terribly sticky with the most aggressive riding I can dish out. Since I'm on the wet coast (BC) I do significant wet asphalt riding. Lasertecs? With my abs I never doubt them. I am always going to be the weakest link. They seem to wear just fine... especially close to the side-wall, where we love to be.

ps. if you are from metzeler's marketing dept...I would be happy to take some free swag... in the form of a few more lasertecs

Lastertecs aren't all that

- Steen from St. Paul, MN USA
I purchased a pair of these tires and the rear didn't last at all. I only got half a season (about 2000 miles) out of the rear. They're over priced and not worth it. The front on the other hand is holding up just fine.

O another thing the front tire had developed a slash on the sidewall 100 miles in. It was almost an 1/8" deep by 4" long! And I'm not a bar brawler so no enemies of mine did it. Luckily I bought it from a dealer and they replaced it at no additional cost.

In conclusion buy the Macadams if you ride an Airhead BMW.

Metzler Lasertec 90/90-21 front tire

- Matt from an hour outside St. Louis, MO
This tire is awesome!! Maybe the best tire I've ever had on the front of my bike. Absolutely amazing on wet roads,, and really, really grips well on dry pavement

I ride a 2004 Dyna Wide Glide (FXDWG) so the front tire is a skinny one. I'd say I'm an aggressive rider, I know I'm not on a sport bike,, but I take these backwoods Missouri roads on my Dyna faster than I probably should.. find myself scraping my bootheels a lot ;)
For a big twin,, you can lean a Dyna pretty far

I ran this tire on a tip from an old biker friend of mine and I have been very happy. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 was that it wears quickly.

I have about 7500 miles on it now and it is pretty close to being done. It should go past 8,000 miles a bit. Even with it being worn down pretty far,, I can still hook a good curve like an idiot, and feel comfortable cruising at 80(or higher) on the interstate

To me, I do not mind a tire that wears fast because I'd rather have the grip of a soft tire than spin out and wreck on a hard tire,, just because the hard tire should last longer
