Well, I had the opportunity to test my new Metzeler Roadtec Z8 Interact tires on The Dragon this past Sunday and Tuesday. Bottom line: Excellent. I was able to run The Dragon with confidence, and they were straight and true. I have about 2500 miles on them now and couldn't be more pleased. I was able to scrape the pegs, which is something I never thought I would do with the NT.
As a side note, for those who have the Skidmarx undercowl, you will scrape the snot out of the undercowl before the pegs hit. I will have pictures to prove it as soon as I place my order with 129slayer.com. If you want a preview, go to http://store.129slayer.com/, select Tuesday, September 17, 2013 and browse to 9:27 AM (that's central time -- apparently the time depends on the time zone where you are, so adjust accordingly i.e. 10:27 if you're eastern time). They do a good job - there are 20 pictures of me there.
