Gap Between Blocks on Metzeler Saharas?
Hi all,

Can anyone with Metzeler Enduro 3 Saharas on their LC4 be kind enough to measure the gap between the tread blocks both across and around the tyres (front and rear)? Not strictly a KTM or even a travel question (but the events are great for practising off-road skills), but these tyres are OE on LC4 Adventures at least in the UK. So should the measurement vary with tyre size, I know I'll have the right figure as I have an LC4-E. An answer in mm would be nice.

Reason I ask? I'm thinking of using them for a Long Distance Trial, and there are tyre regulations (http://www.actc.org.uk/how/ACTC%20tr...20Jan%2004.pdf) be conformed to. Nonetheless, great form of motorcycle sport IMHO.

Thanks in advance.

Ian,
the front is just about 1cm either way.
the rear is 1cm side to side and just about 1.25 top to bottom.
Allen.

Thanks Allen, looks like they'll be legal for the events I mentioned.
