In my search for replacement tires, I've narrowed my choices to the Metzler ME880 Marathon and the Avon Venom X. I've come to those two because of how well the Metzlers have served me and the reports of pleased persons concerning the Avons. I'm hoping that one or more of you have had BOTH and may be able to give me your personal comparison.

I would also like to know if anyone replacing original Metzlers on the FRONT have replaced the ME33 with a matching ME880 and what the results were – primarily in rain.

Thanks in advance for any help.
