So my bike has a definite hop to the front end between 50 and 65kph. It has the cast wheels and the 80/20 Michelin tires, only 4500 km. I did some searching and found several posts on other forums with people having the same problem, lots of them having a front tire replaced under warranty. Anyone here experienced this?

Would be worth getting it checked at your local tyre shop for peace of mind.

The dealer somehow "couldn't duplicate customers concern", but said the tire was cupped and recommended replacing it..... At 4400km.... I did a short 700km trip with it and it's gotten worse and now has a definitive line around the circumference of the tread about 1/3 from one side. Ordered a set of Motoz Tractionator GPS tires for it, we'll see how they work out 🤷🏼‍♂️🤞🤞🤞

No-one ever got fired for buying Michelins. And money spent on tyres and brakes is never money wasted! Amen. Dirtglide.

Personally I stopped buying Michelin adventure tires long time ago. I am not saying they are bad tires but to me, they always get flat too quickly if compared to other brands.

I am actually on Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR (4th set so far) and I must say, they are "Awesome" tires. I'd say 70/30 but with amazing street and light off-road performances.

Hope this will help you in the future @MarcS

Take care,
Alberto

It looks like it will work very well and the reviews on it are excellent. Hopefully I can get them mounted up next week 👍👍
