I know the M/T works ok for light street use. The Ultra Soft is probably the best of both worlds right now...

When the new Metz Dragtec comes out it might be better. But the price alone might be worth sticking with the Shinko. It looks as though the Metz is going to be priced around $240. So if they want to sell them to somebody other than the rich or the AHDRA guys(who they were made for), they'd better be awesome!

I don't know what road surface you have there, but down here we have quite a course surface and the M/T wouldn't hook up on it at all, and ripped the tyre up real fast.
It was on a track only bike but that was when I tried it on the street a couple of times for tuning.

You cant go wrong with the shinko.  The price is right and the performance is great.

Hey Doug, that page comes up blank.

Oops, not blank, just have to scroll waaaaaaaaaaay to the right to see anything about the tire.
Firefox 1.5, 1280 x 1024 resolution.

I'm interested in the tire, depending on how old they are. What's the DOT code on em?

It could be my browser, that's why I included the info above.

I can't believe I wasted post #4000 on this.
