OK, I did a search and saw the tires mentioned here and there, but didn't see any opinions.
Anyway, a friend of mine took his bike in to get new tires over the weekend. He went in to get Metzlers, but the guy talked him into getting Bridgestone Battlax tires instead.
The weird things is that they had the Metzlers in stock (he saw them) and they were more expensive, but the guy told him to save some $$$ and go with the Brigstones because they were just as good.
Anyone know if this is true? Think the guy was just looking to get rid of some of his Bridgestone stock? I just don't understand why he would want to sell the less expensive tires when someone comes in asking for the more expensive tires. Either he's the most honest salesperson in the world, doesn't know his tires or is looking to clear old stock. I think those are the only three choices...
BTW - my friend has a '99 Gixxer. Any opinions?
