Metezler me 880 mt90b16 m/c tl I purchased metzeler me 880 tires. With 400 miles on them side wall started cracking and bulging, making the motorcycle uncontrollable. I talked to scott griffin at metzeler and they replaced the tires. I do not know the date code on the tire because they took them. This tire model should be checked. The front tire was visibly checked and there was a huge bubble in it. The rear tire was visibly checked but no bulge yet and there was only 400 miles on them.
