Tourance EXP

[fatowl]

It's time for tyres (again!). I usually use Tourances, but have seen Tourance EXPs. Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with them? I appreciate they're a bit more road oriented, but I don't do much off road, so that's not a problem.

Hi.
I have used a set of these tyres on my AT,(rear slightly larger than standard)I don't think they come in original size for the AT.I found that they were quite hard compared to regular tourance did not last as long and were a bit twitchy in the wet .
Had a few "but clenching"moments nothing major but it did effect my confidence while they were on the bike.

I thought I read somewhere that Metzler discontinued this tyre even though it was a relatively newly developed tyre!!!???(but this could be one of them things that goes on in me head)that happens sometimes they came as standard on BM,s for a while.I stick with the tried and tested Tourances now no bothers from them good in all conditions and I get great mileage out of them.
Just my "EXP"erience (sorry) couldn't resist.

Hope this info is useful,

Cheers,

Tony.
