Being relatively new to this...I was wondering if anybody out there has had any experience with Metzeler Lasertec tyres?
Thanx!

When I started this process, from a point ignorance, I thought that radial was the norm. I only needed one tyre at the time so the Azaro was fitted and it went well. It is a 140/80ZR.A 150/70ZR17 will not fit and should not be fitted to the 2.75" wide rear wheel on early K bikes. The 140/80VB17 that I use IS the oversize size. ...
I see, but if you want radials... then there is no choice. Maybe I should just go with the flow and fit what is available and matching... in my case I made a mistake of not researching the size issues sufficiently and now I am stuck with a radial on the back with a soon to be replaced Lasertech on the front..... I've sold heaps of the other brands over the years for people wanting a street tyre for the back of their big GS for touring. Another thing for me is that I never ever mix brands.
So it is possible. That makes me feel better because if BMW can mix play and radial, I am sure that the lesser sin of mixing manufacturers is fine provided one stays within the bounds of the tyre type. What i am saying is e.g. is do not mix slicks and sport tourer. I take your point about profiles and compunds... they need to be matched.... the only bike I know of that ever had a radial and a bias belted fitted from the factory was the Airhead R100GS Paralever with a radial on the back and a bias on the front. No one made a 21" radial at the time.
Not sure what that means. what is the difference between three spoke and snowflake?I think the three spoke 18" wheel recommendation is the best one I've heard so far to solve our slight dilemma since it's an easy fit and the rolling radius will be just about the same.
