Tire doesn't fell any different than the Cobra, other than while riding I know this tire won't separate like the Avon, well at least that hasn't been a problem with the Metzler's.
I don't need the headache of will the tire come apart at 800 miles, 1500 or 3500. Especially the potential accident. I don't care about weather I get 4000 or 8000 miles out of it, its better than it coming apart.
Mine scoot is at the shop now getting my second set of Metzlers on it. I got 8500 out of the first set of Metzlers. I got 7500 out of the factory Avons.
