ST1100 question

<< < (5/7) > >>

DirtFlier:
[That is right from my Michelin rep.]

Going by most accounts, the PR3 and PR4 are wonderful tires but do you really think a Michelin guy would recommend another brand of tire? 

It's like asking a Ford rep if their F-150 is better than a Chevy or Ram. They get paid to sell their company's products.

That is why I specified best tire from Michelin not just best tire.  ;)

Geoffrey,


I've had 2 ST's, a 93 ABS/TCS that came with bias Dunlops as oem tires. I later ran radials, both Metzeler and Avons, on it. I traded it after about 45k miles following an engine rebuild for 98ABSII/TCS that came with radials as oem. I liked the Metzeler radial(Z2's?)best with the Avons next. I sold the 98 ST last summer after about 55K miles. The best mileage I recall was about 8k miles. About 1/3 of that was 2up. 


Ride Safe,

DirtFlier:
It's pretty unlikely to have to rebuild the engine on an ST1100 at any mileage.  One club member put 300k on his ST11 before selling it and as far as I know, it's still running out there.

Why, Thanks you Mr. Brick. Indeed I still am installing them. Been doing it most my life it seems, hahahaha. Have plenty in stock.  TM
