Here in Austria it is illegal to have tyres on your vehicle that are more than 4 years old. I've not long fitted an Azaro rear and a Michelin road 2 front, and am exceptionally happy with the combination in grip stability and handling. I do ride my GTR very hard so will be keeping a close eye on that rear, although I think it won't suffer a problem as it was manufactured 3 months before fittment, it may well be that having the 'old' tyre on there combined with hot and cold extremes in weather caused the tyre to effectively delaminate. I may just be one of those things.
Hey Furbo, looks like you're the closest member to me down here in Carinthia, I think around 4 hours apart. Big waves from Austria.
