I just went and checked the Metzler.com site and they don't list the 888 as a tire for the roadster, just the me880

http://www.metzeler.com/site/uk/products/tyres-catalogue.html

Are they listed somewhere else? Currious about the size.

I just replaced my 880's with the Avon Cobras front and back.

Avon Cobra Chrome gives great handling, traction and tire life. Love mine. Been on Avon Cobra since the first tire change. Over 40,000 miles ago.

What in the actual ...


Pirelli/Metzler execs must've collectively had a seizure all at once if they think these are worth 400+ lmao.
