Having used the Metzeler Z8 quite a bit now, being on my second pair, I have only had a good experience. I like how they handle and grip, I like the round profile and there has been no issue with the wear and absolutely no cupping.
I am wondering why there are a number of riders that have had issues with them though. Could it be that there is some inconsistency with their production? Perhaps it has to do with how we ride as well as rider weight. For me, I am not too heavy at 73kg, and my riding is quite enthusiastic with very little straight line (highway etc.) riding. The result has been uniform wear and no squaring or cupping of the tire.
