re: Late reply [ST] Tires

[Erik Miner <Axeis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The "B" version is indeed for BMW's. It has a stiffer side wall and 
maybe a harder compound. BMW's , the newer ones with the Telelever 
front suspension have a problem with cupping tires in front due to 
the weight to the front suspension and the overall weight of the 
bike. Metzeler also have a "B" version for BMW's.
