I am sold on the IRC Wild Flare tires, less than half the price of the Metz.(I found a place in CA where there are $85!) I have had mine on the rear now for about 5,000 miles and it is wearing very well. I have ridden in the wet and dry and it holds the road very well. I think it is just as good as the Metz and just bought one today to replace Wendys Bridgestone. I have also seen they make them for the front but haven't checked sizes yet.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
