Michelin Motorcycle Tires Bulletin - Honda Gold Wing Motorcycles

Is this information common knowledge?

 

[TwoBye]

Strange ....... wonder what's up with that? Guess I'll not look at them for mine anymore, huh.

I have one on now - wondering what folks who are more in the know about such things have to say!

I saw someone has a law suit against them. Think it was Commander II's on a Harley though. Wonder if there is a connection.:Shrug:

Hard to read that small print. Which one are they talking about?
The MPA is a great trike front tire.
I run a MPA rear tire, mounted in reverse on my Trike. I got 25,000 miles out of the first one and have over 23,000 on my second one.
I'll continue to run them.

Yes it common knowledge to me.
As a double Darksider, one who uses a car rear tire and a motorcycle rear as a front tire on my 2 wheeler its more then common.
Its legalize.
Michelin covering its behind for unapproved usage.

It wasn't this way years ago.
Metzler whole heartily approved using its rears as fronts on 2 wheelers.
Then the lawyers got involved. Same crap here.

Their own web site lists both front and rear tires for the 2001-2006 GL 1800. I didn't look for anything else since I have an 06 Oh well if they don't want me to buy their products I guess I won't........so there.....:laugh:

The way I read it is there is probably a lawsuit someplace about their tires on a Goldwing and they are saying just because it is the right size it's still not for the Goldwing. Basically without saying it outright. They are saying they don't make a front or rear. When you go to their website and start looking at tires it asks for front or rear specifically along with the size

Also went to the web site and they have NO listing for tires newer than 2006.
