I have put 16,000 miles on my 2007 1600 Nomad. I have replace rear tire with OEM Bridgestone at 8,000 miles and yep I need a new tire again. Looking to see who has used different brand tires and what sizes you have used and how the Nomad handles with your choice.
Thanks

 

the best are the metzeler me880 for the front 150/80/16 and the rear 180/70/16

 

Welcome to KF mailhauler.

I would agree that the ME will last a long time even on my KZ, for a road tire it will last some time.

Good thread revival.

 

I have a 2008 nomad and I just put on the me880's front and rear, the loved the tire right up to a month ago when the reat started to feather, the tread on the rear tire stated to turn up on the end, wierd get a wierd feeling rolling into a turn. still have it on I checke it often How is yours did yuougo with the ME880's

 

I'm on my 2nd rear of the ME 880 1st one feathering problem Hope the 2nd one last longer I do like the ride of the ME880.

 

What suspension settings are you running? You have any pics of the feathering? Thanks

 

Sorry no pictures, it was where the froove in the tire met they started to turn up a littl you could feel in when riding and with your fingers just a bump.
