HWM rear is the recommended fitment so if using Roadtec 01s you are suppose to use a HWM rear. My experience of fitting an HWM front is bad but I can't be certain of cause and effect so it may be a non-issue. HWM front is non recommended by Metzler however so I would avoid using one. |

This has been covered in a previous thread; I remember being as confused then as I am now (I run Roadtech 01s, but not HWMs) |

Zitat von Paul B im Beitrag #4 How are you liking the 01's on your RS Paul?

Zitat von Bonzo im Beitrag #1 Depends on what you are carrying. I've run almost 3 sets of Roadtec 01s with the HWM on the back and regular weight on the front, as recommended by Metzler. I weigh ~100 kg and usually ride in dynamic engine mode with and sometimes without ASC/DTC, with loaded panniers, brake hard, and make a lot of turns. So far, front and rear have worn evenly.

I had PR4's on on my F800 and liked them less and less as they wore so switched to Roadtec 01's and ok they are fresh round profiled tyres and feel lovely, will be doing the same with the RS when I have killed the PR4's it came fitted with and with an HWM grade on the rear.
