Metzeler MEZ4 homologation in Germany

["Jonathan Schulster" <Schulster@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

In case anyone else (Schweiz, Austria, D, NL?) has to conform to the tyre homologation rules, the Metzeler site (http://www.metzeler.de/home.eng.html) has just listed the MEZ4 as tested and homologated for the Sprint ST 1999.
Since the Metzeler and Pirelli factories here in Germany are one and the same thing (the local factory is on a shared site) it may be that they have tested the Pirelli Dragon GTS at the same time.....  the MEZ4 is reasonably priced here and reputed to last well, so I will probably give it a go if there is no word from Pirelli.

One tyre site in the states that seems to have all the prices is:-

Without shipping costs or tax, the prices were:-
Michelin Hi-Sport   $129/218
Dunlop D207         $83/109
Pirelli Dragon GTS  $114/145
Metzeler MEZ4       $128/177

cheers
Jonathan
