I am about to order these front and rear for the M2.

One website has an option for the 120/70 r 17.
I can buy the
120/70 R17 (E)
or
120/70 R17

what the heck does the "E" mean? It is like 10 bucks more.

Their web page doesn't show an E option that I can easily see
Metzeler

What prices are you finding them at?

This page shows a **(C) option, but I can't find what it means or what the ** refers to.

I got curious and called their 800 number. He said to call and talk to one of the bike guys, but that most of those were for BMW's. The (*) letters are related to various bikes, but for a Buell he said to go for the tire without any letter in a parentheses. He said that if you looked at the tires side by side you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

So, go for the no-letter tires, or call and ask for one of their bike people.

He didn't know of any page describing what each letter actually related to.

Hope this helps some.
