Hi, Time for new tires. After 3 sets of tires I did not like, OEM and two sets of Continental's (old Triumph guy) I put on Metzelers. I put a ME88 Marathon on the rear and a ME33 on the front. Heaven. Now I drive in the rain confident. I have used up my second set and it's time again. I see the ME33 is now called Lasertec Bias Sport. (just from tread pictures) The ME88 Marathon Tour suggests the Lasertec for the front. This is the setup that I’m using now. I also see I can get a ME880 Marathon Touring tire for the front. So the question is has anyone had experience with the ME88 rear and ME880 front? I'm happy with what I have but very curious on my choice here. I'm 60 years old and don't drive like I use to but I have had to add a fork brace to stop front fork from twisting. Also I have no bags or fairing on this bike. / Thanks for input / J
