I looked at tires and I decided to go with the Night Dragons (for my Night Train) based on what I read. They are in my livingroom waiting to get mounted in the next week or so.

My front tire is good, but I want to swap both at the same time. I do like how the front and rear tread is about the same. People say the front Night Dragon tracks well.

I really like the Night Dragons on my Night Train. I can't attest to mileage I guess as they only have about 2500 miles on them but they appear to be holding up better than the Metz's I had on before them. I like how they handle and they don't seem to follow road grooves too bad. They've also done well in the rain.

I've been running Night Dragons on my ride for almost 2 yrs now. I'm happy with their ride, and wear thus far.
