I think they are the stock ones now. Yes, they are a huge improvement over the Bridgestones, but that doesn't take much. Those were horrible tires. I don't trust the Metzler in the wet either. On the way home from the Mid West Rally this summer, we rode the last bit in the rain and for no reason my rear end just slid out sideways and scared the crap outta me. My next rear will be the IRC Wildflare heavy duty, I really like the front I have on there and if the rear is even close to it in wear and traction then it will be a winner. I only have 11k on my 880 though, so it will be a while before I need a new back tire, they wear well.

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.
