Default Need sticky tires?

Well Im changing out my stock tires and want two really sticky tires, dont really care about cost or how long they last, off course not one week, but I love to go through the twistys and would like a tire that has alot better grip then stock. Any sugestions please send them my way. Thanks

Metzler 880s when I get done with my Dunlops... they are really good from what I hear... there are several threads on tires in the fourum... try the "search" option for more info. Good luck.

I put metzler 880 on front and rear of my 99FLHT and went to the mountians, lot better in the twistys then the dulops were and i got about the same milage out of the rear..cost just a tad more, but to me worth it, also did fine in the rain

I've read on here that the Avon Venoms are the way to go. I'll be adding them when the stock Dunlops expire. Rear will be due by next year & I'll replace the front at that time too & sell it off.

Does anyone make a 180 other than the SE that can make it longer than 3000-4000,,, usually race tires are not meant to be, i guess.....
I may stick with dunlop!!! with the numbers im seeing on the forum 8,000/9,000 miles if not stretchin it more... thats impressive for a stock tire.... I gotta tell-ya!!! whats not broken... don't fix it... if it works////stick with it!!

I just put a 170 Metzler Z-6Roadtec on the back. Man is it sticky. It's actually a sport touring tire.Probably won't last long, but man is it fun in the twisties.

Nothing sticks better than an Avon Venom, I get about 3000 miles out of a rear on a chopper, but I am kinda tough of them........

I have the Metz 880, but from what I understand, the Venom is a stickier tire and doesn't last as long

I love my Metz 880's but I have heard that the Avons are even better. I will stick with the 880's again though. Great in the rain as well as the corners.
