No but something to consider the Metzler m1 sport tech weighs 12.78 lb that is about 1 to 1.5 lb lighter than all others for the rex ( ZRX 1200 R ) I have one big accel difrence and turns a little quicker and the stick real good. Not as good as dunlop 208 or Bridgestone BT 010 but good enough for me. Go to tires at the at
the zrxoa and get all the specs. That much rolling weight is a big improvment.

The M1's are sweet tires, Ive had two sets put on my 95 zx6r, and havent had a single complante. But unfortionitly its harder to find much any thing else except Michelins here in Germany, so Im going with the Pilot Powers next time around. Heard they were pretty sweet too.

A guy I work with just got some tires for hus wife's bike and he got the Pilot Powers. He swears by them and wouldn't get anything else, said it's a great all around tire that you can trust in the twisty's (track or street).

I just mounted a Michelin Pilot Road on the rear. W ewill have to see how it works out. Had D220s on the ZRX but the Rear only lasted 4000mi. I would expect that from a 208[sm=rolleyes.gif]

I also have the Michelin "Pilot Road", front and rear, on my ZR750. Got them a couple years ago soon after their release to replace some Michelin "Macadam 90's" ... so far, the "Pilot Roads" have been a great all around sport-cruiser tire. fyi

i get everything from my dealer he knows my bike like i do its just easier to get it done and after a little bit of time goes by most of them hook you up with some killer deals but its up to you all depends on what you like
