hi
This is the image of the Front Tyre I mentioned.

difficult to judge with my tires I have not noticed something like that, especially in the deepening, it is a bit strange, I would show it to the dealer, material defects can also happen with tires.

Sadly I got the Dunlop supermax also. What a disappointment! All the advertising was for the Metzeler roadtec’s. The Dunlops were terrible in wet conditions from Lincolnshire to Hawick in the Scottish Borders. Got over 600 miles in two days for the oil and filter first service. They are actually perfectly good in dry conditions, but this is the U.K. Other than this, very happy with the NT.

Only done 1200 miles on the Dunlops
but they seem OK. Definitely not as good as the Michelin Road 5s and 6s I had on my CT. Has anyone fitted the Avon sport touring tyres, I think they are called Spirit?

Mine also came with Metzeler tyres, I’m not as confident with these as I was with the Michelin Road 4 & 5’s I had on the Crosstourer, they even made me feel the difference, and I’m a crap rider.
When new tyres are needed, I’ll be asking for the Michelins again.
But I’ll have a read of other forum members thoughts first before deciding, it’ll still probably be an easy decision of Michelins again.

Ride safe all and stay healthy.

I just had fitted Michelin Road 6's to replace the OEM Metzelers, I wont say the difference is "night and day", but the Road 6's do perform very well, wet or dry. IMO they feel more planted than the Metzelers did

Mine came with Dunlop... and they work really well in dry conditions.

My previuos bike, F 800 Gt, came with Roadtec (metzeler) and had a neutral behaviour. Later, I changed the two of them ( even thou the front want was not necesary at that moment) to Road 5.

I like them in almost all condition but hot summer. In dry and wet winter and spring, they are perfect for me.

And... Mileage?

Mine are asking for change in less than 2000 kms; so, they will work for 8000 kms ( rear one).

Front is still ok
