Note that since the V-Strom wasn't specifically designed for the Metzeler tires, so these effects may differ, depending on the motorcycle.
Metzeler Tourance Next Review - webBikeWorld
My 2013 NC700X needs new tires.
I have 7500 miles on the tires from purchase and they are looking pretty smooth.
I notice the choice of tires for our model is a little thin.
So, while talking to the parts person at my Honda shop he mentions Pirelli Scorpion Trail tires and then Metzler Tourance Next tires.
I was aware of the Pirelli's but not of the Metzler.
I feel Metzler is a good tire.
He mentioned he heard, if true, that the Next tires are coming standard on new BMW R1200GS bikes.
So I went ahead and ordered them.
When looking for various reviews of the tire, well I do not find many due to how new they are.
In the above listed article the author mentions his bike was not designed for these tires.
I am thinking and thinking about that statement.
How does one know if his/her bike was "designed" for a certain tire?
Only when he purchases and tries or after someone with your bike model buys and tries?
Please, feel free to give me your thoughts on tires in relation to various bikes.
Or even just tires in relation to our model.
Here is another review of the Metzler Tourance Next tire.

I am very excited to try these tires on the NC to feel how the bike reacts.
Any one have experience with these tires?
Anyone feel "No, do not get these!"
Are you able to read an article on a certain tire and spot something regarding what is good for the NC and what would not work well on it?
Thanks for your input!
God bless!!
