Mefos

I just shelled out $186 shipped from Motostrano. I am sure there is a better deal out there, but that is the best I could come up with. Back ordered by a week, or so they say.

Cheers,
Lance

Mefo Super Explorer DOT 150/70-18 Rear Tire

I bought my rear mefo from KTM Twins.com. Talk to Ron and he will take care of you. I think there list price is $182.00. I believe its one of the best rear tires you can get!!!!

It happened quite a while ago... Haven't heard anyone recommend them since.

I found the local dealers became quite competitive if you factor in mounting, balancing, and ask for a discount.

I do stock up if a Net discount shows up. Usually find out about it here.
Thanks to all the peeps that take the time to post it.

My K60 seems to be wearing faster than the Mefo did but the onroad traction has been excellent.
