    Metzler ME 880 Marathon

    http://www.metzelermoto.com/web/cata...catalog/custom

    Anyone tried these for road only use?

    They look a bit like Tourances just road only

    They seem to come in every size under the sun and seem to have some pretty good reviews elsewhere but none here

    Wet grip is next to nothing. You can surely find better tires for tarmac only. Proper size is awailable in almost every tire brand since you can use 150/70 also.
