Metezler Tires SUCK
08/15/13 6:12 PM

Metezler tires SUCK.

I had a warranty claim denied by them, for another, different cycle, and after waiting two months for them to tell me.

The tires were obviously defective, and I had the issue confirmed by a motorcycle dealer mechanic before we removed them and replaced them with a different brand.

The different cycle has a forum, and the issue is all over that board. It's front end wobble related, with this brand being a major offender over many different cycles (of the same model, a DL650 V Strom).

Metezler denied my warranty claim after having the issue known to them for a year now.

Metezler tires SUCK.

I'm not buying any more, and I suggest you dont, either.

I get no respect from Metzler.

I spent hours of shop time, and my time, and hours of mechanics time, and lots of cash, trying to sort this issue with their tire.

...and what do they do for all my effort? Bone me! Well, I'm done takin' it in the shorts from them.

OTOH, CBlast and Wolf, man I'd like to meet these guys. What a great time that would be, prolly scare me to death :)

You guys rock.
