METZELER ME880 TIRE PRODUCED CUPPING AND TIRE SEPARATION AFTER 3000 MILES OR WEAR. METZELER CONTINUES TO IGNORE MY REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS TIRE WHICH SHOULD HAVE DELIVERED A MINIMUM OF 6000 MILES. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH REVEALS SEVERAL SIMILAR INCIDENTS WITH THE SAME TIRE. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A MOTORCYCLE TIRE, TIRE FAILURE CARRIES A GREAT RISK OF DEATH. METZELER HAS AN OBLIGATION - LEGALLY AND MORALLY - FOR CONSUMER SAFETY, AND THE COMPANY CONTINUES TO IGNORE COMPLAINTS. *JS
