RE: Metzler Roadtech 01 Unusual Wear - 2

I think there is something about the BMWs, or the industry wide changes to frames and the like, that means the front tyre wears more. Maybe the tyres are softer anyhow. All I know is that prior to my BMWs, the usual wear was 1 front to 2 rears. My telelever "S" wore out the front faster than the rear. I put this down to the different geometry. I can't really compare the RS, as I had a damaged rear Metzler 08 that required replacement "out of sync". My Metzler08 front was replaced with a Dunlop, the Metzler still had life in it, but it was cupped, and I really wanted to try the Dunlop.
My replacement rear tyre (Metzler 01 GT?) is surprisingly sturdy and it may well last as long, or outlast the front Dunlop before I get a chance to fit a Dunlop to the rear.
I use 2.5 - 2.9 bar. I think the pressure is too high, but the RS hasn't put a foot wrong and I can't justify altering it.

So far, on my RS, my front tires have been wearing out about 1K miles before the rear tire. Kind of irritating, but no doubt things could be worse.

Just installed a Road 5 on front. The Roadtech for me was terrible. Heavy feel in any kind of turn, left or right. Maybe it was a bad tire. I'll never know as I will stick with the Road 5s. The bike now handles as it should. BTW. Bought the bike used with the Roadtechs on it and yes it was wearing funny at purchase 4k miles ago. Ymmv.

I have had the same issue with my F800, the front is nearer to the wear bars than the rear (PR4's), never seen that before
Have a pair of Roadtec 01's to go on as I never really felt comfortable on the PR4's once they were half worn.
