Warp, there is no doubt that Art is very knowledgeable regarding motorcycle high performance. One of the areas where he goes wrong is that he can't seem to understand or relate to anyone else who doesn't share his vision of what motorcycling should be. You sometimes seem to share that trait. For some, it's all about extracting every possible ounce of energy or performance from a m/c. For others, it's not.
In not being able to respect others reasons for motorcycling, Art goes too far in his arguments. He simply can't agree to disagree. As you have no doubt observed his recent classless attack on CADfather on the other site, he goes over the point to where we don't have to put up with it anymore. His actions has created our loss here. Please put the accountability where it belongs.
You said, "...I am not sure if I would give up the safety of a MC tire verses the DS". This is a good example of how you and Art dismiss others concerns that the particular application of a certain tire to our motorcycle presents a safety hazard in itself. My concern regarding the Metzler is no less valid than yours is about DS.
Also, given the mindset that you and Art share, it would make sense that your discussions with the "tire engineers" would yield the answer that you want to hear. For all out balls to the walls performance, yes, a m/c tire is the proper solution. Perhaps a different set of criteria would yield a different result.
