My Indy dealer got the tires from Drag Specialities if I remember right. I will specify when I order some new tires to check where they are made too. At the speeds I ride I don't want to see problems with the side of the tire going out. But I bet yer butt that Metzler will be on top of this pretty soon.
call the dealership and ask.
im just looking out for us because if we dont who will?
good luck and check yo chit!
That tire size sound odd to me.
Nothing odd about that size. I run 140/70/18 because the load rating is much higher than the 150 and I did not feel comfy with the lower rating on a Bagger. Additionally, those tires like lotsa air. I run 50~52psi in my rear when cold.
Mine are are also the Brazillian made. Guess I'll look into this too.
I will try to call my Drag rep tommorrow and get the scoop, I havent had anybody complain, and well sell a ton of Met's. I will post as soon as I find anything out.
I just received a new 21" Metzeler ME880for my wide glide from Drag Specialties that I haven't installed yet. It says Brazil on it. This thread is raising concerns. I hope to get more positive post.
