I've had mine over 140 mph and under 12 seconds in the 1/4. No problems here.

I live in same area and was told same thing by latus, checked around and found no collaborating evidence and even called manuf, so you know perrilli makes metz, i checked everywhere, and finally had a set put on (not at latus) they push avons, i love mine and really noticed the better ride and handling before i dreaded going over the steel bridge in ptld i was all over the place, tr;ied it with the metz and wow what a big difference,

Is it possible that Latus had an unrelatedproblem with Metzler or the distributor that was entirely Latus' fault amdnow Latuscan't even buy the tires so they have to bad mouth them?

Maybe Latus was slow pay on their invoices and got cut off? Maybe something else?

I've seen distros get enough of a retailer and cut them off. Next, the dealer has to find a reason to tell you that the brand is no good so they can sell you what the do have?

Dunno, just wondering ??
