I'am running the ME880 Marathon on the back and a Bridgestone BT45 on the front.When I needed the front I didn't have the bucks for the Metzler on the front,so I ran the BT45.It actually sticks very well.I don't know if it will last 21,000 miles like the original Metzler did.I've got 7,000 miles on the Bt45 and it looks ok so far.
