Seems like maybe they put out a bad batch!

My first set went the distance and then some. Really liked them. This set the rear tire began to form a bulge at just under 3000 miles.

I e-mailed Hal (bought the tires during his Christmas sale last year) and he said call the office and they'd work something out.

Eeeek, Thanks for the heads-up.

My first metz on rear (from the hurricane writeoff daily special), and at 1500 miles my first ever place-your-hands-on-the-handlebars-stupid 40mph wobble. Front is aging 50% worn E3, so I figured this was par for the course. Guess I'll be watching the rear carefully, I'll be going to Wingstock on this one ...
