Overall Review
The Metzeler Tourance front tire was rated higher than the rear tire. Overall people like the handling and grip. The Metzeler Tourance provides a very controlled feeling and sticks well to the road. The control comes at the expense of mileage for some. There were pretty consistent complaints that mileage was lower than expected.

Perfer Michelin Anakee over the Tourance. The Tourance is hard to change out. Others prefer the Tourance for the steel belt/durability.
