We got 5 in at our shop. #159 had Metz. 006, 158, 246, and 321 had BW's.maddog5150 said:It would be interesting to see all this data side by side with VIN data. Like XXX and below got BW's and XXY and up got EXP's.
Well, that seems to blow my theory out of the water. :fredz43 said:We got 5 in at our shop. #159 had Metz. 006, 158, 246, and 321 had BW's.
I would be more interested in seeing if the bike's color were linked to the tires. When I bought my FZ, the blue ones had Dunlops, and the silver ones had Bridgestones. I intentionally bought the blue one for that reason.maddog5150 said:It would be interesting to see all this data side by side with VIN data. Like XXX and below got BW's and XXY and up got EXP's.
Nope. We had 3 blue and 2 black and only one black came with Metz.Yamaguy55 said:I would be more interested in seeing if the bike's color were linked to the tires.

Yamaha negotiates huge contracts for OEM fitment of tires and typically they will have at least two approved suppliers that, at least from Yamaha's POV, are completely interchangeable and equivalent. What you get on the bike will be what is most readily available and delivered to the plant on the day your bike was built.Rand0mRider said:So why is there different tires on them? I never really paid much attention in the past to tires that came with anything. It just seems like at least by region you would want uniform distribution of tires. Any reason aside from supply shortage?
