Ritchey WCS Z-Max tyres

Do they still exist? I've just worn out my last pair.

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
for some help for mine. I think I only have one broken at present. By the way, what adhesive did
you use, and has it held up fine?

I started using Panaracer Fire XC 2.1 when the Z-Max's finished. They not quite as good in wet stuff
as Z-Max but better all round on everything else and roll on roads much better.
