EX vs. HARD
 

Has anyone had any experience with the Metzeler six day EX (stock) vs. HARD front tire? I realize the compound will be harder. The tread pattern is much different on the hard as well. I like the EX but the knobs are chucking off.
Thanks.

Big fan of the EX here.

I like my EX too. But have too noticed some chunks out of the tire.

Love me some Metzeler Six Days in the sand and loose loam - what kind of terrain are you riding that they chunk off?

Tree roots. Small to medium size rocks.

I pulled the rear off after nearly no kms at all. Stock front tyre seems quite good in the sloppy conditions we've been having.

Hey Steve.
This is what mine is starting to do.

John - does yours look like this?

Agree. I tried 'em all and always go back to the Metz 6 days Extreme.

So is that just common wear on mine? Or is it due to the terrain I ride?

I'm going to say it's the rocks, unless there has been a compound change or production plant change thrown in that makes them crap. I used to run Michelin S12XCs up front but lately have been buying take-off Metzlers for my personal bikes.
