Summary: 


  Well, I just got off the phone after talking to a METZELER tire
rep. and got the following poop.
  I'm in the process of getting a new set of tires and decided that
for sport-touring aplications, the following tires will suit my needs.

  Metzeler has come out with yet another sport tire, the ME99A2. this
is an M.B.S. series tire,(Metzeler Belt System). It is a rear tire
that uses kevlar belts to stabilize tread at high speeds. This tire is
supposed to be mated with the ME33 (lazer) front tire. At this current
time only sport compound is available except for seventeen inch rear
wheels. The 17 in. exception also comes in a standard compound too.
  The ME99A2 is supposed to be better than the ME99A1 when pushing
the "outer envelope" and give better tread wear.
  I will give a product report after I've thrashed a pair for a while.


 ALSO.... I'm looking for some people in the New England area that
          are interested in the art of sport touring. If you want
          to share the road with a fellow representative, send me
          some mail.

 SPORT TOURING - The art of knowing when its O.K. to go fast and
                 when it's best to go slow. (ie: no road squirels).
