RE: Best Rubber
They went on today. $375 for both the front and rear tires installed. I know it's a bit steep, but doesn't everything cost a LOT more now??? I only have about 35 miles on them so far, so I'll wait a while until I post a review of the handling. I had to try something different after the Dunlops, I just wasn't impressed with the wear..We'll see if the Metz are better.

 \\; So far, so good. I haven't been able to put on a lot of miles since they were installed, but in the limited riding I have done since then I can say that \\;I definitely \\;like the feel. I think I'll have a chance to try them out a lot more this weekend - with predicted highs in the 90's. I'll keep everyone posted.

Keep us updated. It's either the Avon or Metzs soon.

RE: Best Rubber
 \\; The Metz have about 350 miles on them and all I can say is - WOW!!! The ride is good and the traction is outstanding. I also prefer the tread pattern over the Dunlops. They also don't seem to follow the cracks and grooves in the pavement the way the stockers used to. I'm definitely happy with the choice I made - \\;I hope \\;the longevity of this set is better than the Dunlops.
