Default time for tires, Metzlers?
After 10,000 miles on the OEM i'm in need of a set of tires. More so on the back than the front. But I'm looking at getting a new set of Metzler ME 880 marathons. Are they as good as people say they are?

I have been buying Metzler ME 880s for years. I find they handle well, ride well, and wear like iron if you are good about keeping the PSI up where it should be. Per a TSB from Metzeler I run mine 2-4 PSI above what the OEM Bridgestones run at, and I've gotten 20,000 miles out of a set of Metzelers.
