So as long as this tire is in not old/rotted, it should be a good tire overall..... Tread life, traction in hot/wet/cold..... So on.???????

 

Before you order, get the numbers off of the wall of the tire. Check it out and see when it was made. But any tire/ well most sell tires by the thousands and should have fresh rubber available. I also preferred the France tires for the 208gp's that I ran on the zx7 for the track.

I can hit the wear bars on the metzlers at 4k miles. The Qualifier has been good for me on the street. ie only moderate throttle on the streets. But cruised up to Virginia City this Feb with a fairly clean road and snow on the ground. I will try out the pirellis soon, but the Q's have done well for me on the street.

 

Whats ur tread life on them

 

On my 10r, I would safely say 5-6k miles. Street riding of course. From my initial specualation. I still have good tread after the dyno's, but I am concerned on the heat cycles that have been placed on the tire. So will replace both as a set

 

Thanks bro.. I should be ordering my set soon and I will post back with the results

 

Good luck and enjoy.

 

mmmm don't ask me about wear life on tires. LOL

 

I agree with YB. I'd recommend a 220 on the rear and a 208 on the front. The 220 gives good feedback but increasedmileage. The 208 keeps the front end planted. This combinationseems to work well for me. FWIW.
