Planning ahead for my first tire change

whatever they had before the 888 were junk
that is why no one wanted to try the 888"s

And of I recall correctly you mentioned that you liked them?

I didn't think about them. It's an option.

How do they grip in turns?

No i did not like them
First front bought bike in reno Nevada drove bike to Tucson Arizona 900 miles had a rumbling sound and the tire was cupped bad in all fairness fighting cross winds 30to 40 mph.
Second set wasn't much better.
So i went with excedra max on rear and cobra on front. Still running that combination 50,000later.

Ok thanks, I'll just go with that then. I've had Metzler tires on different bikes in the past and they always had that weird cupping problem.
