Metzeler me880 tire produced cupping and tire separation after 3000 miles or wear. metzeler continues to ignore my request for investigation into this tire which should have delivered a minimum of 6000 miles. a quick internet search reveals several similar incidents with the same tire. given that this is a motorcycle tire, tire failure carries a great risk of death. metzeler has an obligation - legally and morally - for consumer safety, and the company continues to ignore complaints. *js | |||
