    DOT EB 0Y B279 0910 or DOT EB 0Y B279 1010

    Problems reported with tread block tearing / block separation.

    If you have the above tyre with the sidewall markings, contact Metzeler on 08456094949 or 07974153558 or email at tourance-campaign.uk@metzelermoto.com.

    All above info taken from an ad in todays MCN. Haven't copied all the blurb, but the important bits are there - I think!

    Damn. I bet the one I have just had replaced was from around those weeks. I only had them fitted about 10 weeks ago and the replacement fitted at the weekend is from week 20.

    I could have had a freebie.
