Dark Side for a Day: a Metzeler guy's thoughts on The Dark Side
Written by douglasvanb on 6/15/2011 at 09:12 pm

Wade,

I didn't notice any appreciable difference in ride smoothness or noise between a
fresh set of Metzelers and a nearly fresh set of Dark Side tires. To be fair
though, I always wear earplugs when I ride.

Cheers,

Douglas

groves. Really don't notice it any more.)

experience. This is something I really like and expected perhaps a comment along
those lines.
