    They're still available, but now are called "Z Max Millenium". They're a very good all-terrain tire
    (as you probably know).

    Been away from the computer a bit, but thanks for the help and extra info, Jon. I think I'll try

  4. I started using Panaracer Fire XC 2.1 when the Z-Max's finished. They not quite as good in wet stuff
