Michelin Tires
« on: January 06, 2009, 04:57:28 PM »
I am not trying to start a new tire thread "but" has anyone tried the Macadam MT50's from Michelin? I am looking to put a new set of tires on my 78 F3 I am running Metsler Laser Tec now on front and rear and got about 8000 out of the rear.

Thanks

If thts miles not kms its a good mileage, older michelins were a sod to fit and get out square, dont know about this new stuff designed since 75

I am running them.

I have no complaints, I think they look good on the bike, and can recommend them wholeheartedly!
Matching set....

Same here. I like them as well as Dunlops old 591's and now the 501's, but these wear better.

They claim wet weather grip may not be as good. I can't comment.

There were lots of size options available.
