Two wheel tires at blacksoil are ordering me the exedra max and fitting it next thursday looking forward to trying it out will post my opinions on handling and at the end of its life its durability.
Thanks Richard for the suggestion if it holds even the same on the road as the metz but gives me a couple extra thousand k ill be sold on the bridgy
Now ill let ya all get back to the thread topic of front tires sorry got a bit side tracked there lol

I'm sure this has been posted elsewhere but just a little more hijack......
things I like about Excedra Max....besides handling & wearability:
Corrects speedo reading.
Lowers RPMs....slightly stretching gear ratios & fuel economy
....and without labouring the point, the actual improvement in fuel economy (and mileage from the tyre) is slightly greater than the apparent improvement because you're actually travelling further than the odometer shows compared to a 50 series. I worked it out somewhere - think it was something like an extra foot travelled for every 3 revolutions of the back wheel. Take that over a tank of fuel or the life of the tyre and it's not insignificant.

when I had the Toyo 245/55/16 it corrected the speedo 4% so when working out your fuel economy it was just a matter adding 4% or for those that have trouble with percentages add an extra 4 mile/km for every 100 mile/km traveled

I rode the dragon just at the end of a good rain with a week old Avon Cobra on the front. Very high marks for traction.
I pushed my comfort level on the twisties waiting for a sign of some traction loss and the Cobra did not let go.
Now I have to determine my vote on tire life.
I bit the bullet and voted for my current Bridgestone but probabloy should have waited until I was certain it's better than the Avons I've been using. My experience with Avon was always the same as yours Nolton. An excellent (front) tyre.
