Report - Austone, Metzeler, Ride-On

[OzarkRider]

I recently installed new tires, an Austone on the rear and a Metzeler 880 on the front, both with Ride-On Tire Sealant & Balancer. These replaced a very old Dunlop up front and a 200/60 Metzeler on the rear. After only ten miles I was very impressed, now after 250+ miles I am in love! Currently running 42 psi in both tires and the handling has been the biggest improvement, it feels more like a sport bike the steering is more nimble and the back tire feels just like a motorcycle tire, no low speed issues at all. I do notice a slight tracking issue on grooves or pavement patch tar snakes. Handling in the twisties has improved greatly, this is probably due more to the new front tire, but the rear rolls right over no extra counter steer needed.  As for the Ride-On it was several miles before centrifugal force distribute the gel but then is was much smoother than the old tires. Well worth the investment.
