Hate bringing this back up after a few years, but I just had a pair of Metzlers put on, even though I wanted better but the shop I had do it for me couldn't seem to get the Cobra's for me. I'm not too pleased! The good thing is that they don't last very long, so it won't take anytime at all before I will go to a different shop and get my Cobra's....or whatever better tyre (tire) they have at that point. Not a big fan of the Metzlers....lasted less than 6K with reasonable use. Praying the Cobra's last longer. The other reason I won't go to them again is because the boy that put them on, didn't balance the front so it goes into a death wobble when I release the bars. I am a very patient man, but his attitude gets worse and worse every time I go in there. I've purchase two bikes from them because I like the owner and sales staff, but their shop boy has burned me for the last time. On another note, I did just have my Cobra's come in for my Strat, so I will be putting those on in the next few days.
