Hello, again, everyone: I don't know if I did a thread on this, but I wanted to put Michelin Anakee III's on my 2012 T-100; the problem being that I wanted radials front and rear. That meant going to a 110/80/19 front and a slim possibility of hitting the fender bolts with the side of the tire.....shouldn't have worried! The 110/80/19 Anakee's fit the bike perfectly, plenty of room for the fender bolts and they don't appear to be any wider than the Metzler front, probably due to a different profile, I guess. Dealer actually thought that they were a bit narrower than the Metzler 100/90/19, oddly enough. For the short time I spent on them riding home, they really felt good; they seem to "lean" into the corners easier, with a lot less effort to make the T-100 go 'round said corner. Noise level is a bit high, but I was riding with my face shield partly open, and when I closed it, needless to say, it was much quieter; of course, my tinnitus and earplugs also contributed to a lower noise level, as well....................gotta' be some kind of a "good side" to having tinnitus, I guess!!
