I've put about 1200 miles on these so far and i have to say these tires are excellent. I feel like the bike is glued to the pavement. The front end wobble I had with the Lazertech is gone and the kick out I had experieced with the ME880 in turns is gone as well. I would say these tires actually perform a little better than the stock Metzlers did. they perform really well on wet pavement as well. The price was great at $137.00 shipped for the pair. I know that tire preference is like oil preference but as long as I can get at least 8000 miles out of these they will definitely be my tire of choice.
