Got roadtec 01s on the multi and a month later this happens on the right side rear only. the garage is waiting on a reply from metzeler anybody any idea's
that dont sound so good. i assume you kept it upright after the snap we had a look around but no damage to the hugger or anywhere else
Could have been something stuck in it that's now free and on a road somewhere. Looks like surface only, and personally I wouldn't worry about it.
Glad you put this up. I’ve got some new Roadtec 01’s and they have similar marking. Not scratching like yours but streak lines in the tyre.... Very faint but you get the idea.
Ahh. that's different all together, that's the mighty power of the KTM that's shredding them. I'm guessing you pulled a away from just above idle a few too many times, and that's the result
thats another jimmy but with similar problems cheers andy the bike shop said metzeler pirelli wanted the tyre back for testing. but that means me without the bike for prob about 2 weeks shite service really going to let it run for the moment and see does it disappear not a happy bunny after paying 370 euro for the tyres
Had similar experience with a screw picked up on the road lodged it's self between the hugger and tyre. Left scratch marks on the tyre with no serious damage.
ok, the standardised return process for the car and bike tyre industry is that you can send a tyre back under complaint via a account holder (Tyre dealer) you can have your bike back if you pay for another tyre, if the manfacturer finds a defect of product then they reimburse the dealer with a credit based upon % of tyre used, and in my experience manufacturers always air on the side of the customer for brand promotion. the tyre dealer then reimburse you the same % of your tyre value from your invoice, so I.E dealer receives 90% of their purchase cost, you receive 90% of your tyre cost, with the conversation i had it seems that it is only superficial marks and unlikely to be an unsafe defect, PM me your email and i'll forward the details that your dealer needs to pass to Metzeler claims department, it will help you.........
