THANKS ALL!

Thank You All, I've decided to try the darkside! I was debating this morning and decided I'm not giving any more money to metz for a tire that only puts out 5000 miles at best! (for me anyways) I hear about people getting 10000 out of there's, thats great but I've never gotten close to that on my rocket, also the best price I can find on a metz 240/50/16 is right at $255 THAT'S IT!!!! I've got to try this "darkside" thing out, I'm hoping for the best!!

I've decided to go with the riken raptor 225/55zr16, mainly because of the price, less then $77 dollars delivered!! (tirebuyer.com) and my local dealer said $50 installed,(that's with them doing all the work) said all I have to do is drop the tire and the bike off and sign a release waiver

A special thanks to all who helped with my decision

Congrats sir!!!!

Don't forget two more things.

1. Take it easy for the first couple of hundred miles to make sure you get the mold release off from the manufacture before you ride it like you stole it!

2. Start with manufacture suggested PSI or a couple lbs. lower and when you get used to the tire and it's handling, try adjusting the air pressure to match your riding style!
