I like the look of these tires and the walls are not as steep as mine

I didn't trust the stock dunlops in the curves or in the rain...So i came here asking for tire advise like you and had several people say metz me 880's so i gave them a shot..6 years later it's the only tire i'll buy..They handle great in the curves..super sticky..and handle just as great in the rain...

I've scraped footpegs in the rain on the tail of the dragon with the metz 880s...
