Anybody hear about Tourance's shaking & shimmying?? I need a new set of tires, replacing T-66's. Talked to dealer, he said they've had a few cases (did not say exactly how many. should have asked) of a new set of Metzler Tourance's at a certain speed start to develop a shimmy. When they replaced w/T-66's it went away. I told him I was surprised to hear this, as so many have recommended the Tourances. Including BMW. My thought is a bad batch... Anybody else experience this??
Yep. Seems like there was a bad batch. I have a bad front tire, and it has a little shimmy-shimmy coco-pop. If you're getting it from a dealer, don't sweat it - if you get a bad one he should replace it. I'd take a Tourance with a little shimmy over a T66 any day.
Crash/Fish... Thanks for the responses. I agree I've heard too much good information on the Metzler's to pass on them. My bike came w/the T-66's so I've just had to wear them out.... Now it's time to move on.... thanks again.
