I liked my Metz. tires too and never had an issue with traction wet or dry. I went with the IRC Wild Flare because it cost less and has a cool flame tread pattern. Once I had the IRC it performed very well,so I have been using them ever since and will buy another once I wear this one out. (on my 2nd and Wendy is on her first)My front Lazertech has 25,000 miles on it now and needs to be replaced. I want the IRC Wild Flare to match the rear but I don't want to change tire size up front.

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