bit late for me,got through 2 sets 2009-2011 before switching to avons on the gpz500..never had any problems apart from not lasting very long(3.5k on rear tyre!!)avons give about 7-8k on rear with same riding style/miles etc..
Lol I'm not sure that's a required testing procedure. ..but maybe it should be :p
bugger, I just changed a set of these for some PR4, no problems with them though just old age,
ive not heard anything from Cambrian who supply us in the trade and import them, but then the tyres supposedly affected are a more race type.
pity about Avon, although local now an American company.
Keith who used to be at Bob Missens had a good relationship with Avon and was allways getting scrubbed tyres and we had at a good price.
I've got Conti's on my fz1... I'll have a look.
The email I received:
Tires between 1907 (19th week of 2007) and 2614 (26th week of 2014) are covered by this voluntary exchange program. No other tire sizes, production periods or product lines are affected. Also not affected is ContiSportAttack2 K. Continental started to notify the respective national authorities on August 8, 2014. Continental is in contact with its motorcycle tire customers from the respective sales channels to organize and implement the voluntary exchange program. Anyone seeking more information, including instructions for identifying affected tires and local contact partner, are invited to visit Continental’s website.
What to do?
If you should notice that you have one of the affected tires, please contact our service center by mail (claims@delti.com) to organize the claim of the tire.
I had my front tyre changed under the Continental recall scheme. Just give Pauline a ring at Biketreads and she knows all about it. All FOC. No claim forms need to be filled in.
Have a look at this to check if yours is listed.
