To buy or not to buy, let me know your opinion! Please

Post by CARTEEUSMC »

Well my local tire guy who has been putting Metzelers on my bike has come across a front "brand new" Metzeler Z4 which was said about a year ago that you could not get anymore. I love Z4, I have a Z6 on the back already......My trip to NC has put the need for new tread in the front.....I could get this new Z4 or should I just get a Z6 for the front?? The back Z6 is doing better than its Z4 older brother that I had on there before.

So please tell me what you think I should do?

Clint, I think you have just answered your own question.

"The back Z6 is doing better than its Z4 older brother that I had on there before."

I'm with Hank.

The only thing that would make the difference to get the Z4 would be price.

Be careful buying old tires.....even though they are "new" the rubber might be deteriorated, check the manufacturing date.
