Default Screamin Eagle Tire question

For those of you who are running these on the front and back, I have a few questions.&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;How is the ride?&nbsp\\; Do they track on the road like the stock Dunlops?&nbsp\\; What about handling?

I still have the stock up front but I have the SE 180 in the back and noticed a big improvement in how it doesn't seem to grab grooves in the road like it did with the stock rear tire.&nbsp\\; Is that what you are looking for?

JRK,
&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; I have a 180 Dunlop GT502 on the way from Chicago HD.&nbsp\\; Did you ever run this with the stock front?&nbsp\\; I have 4k on the front, less than a year on the road, in good shape.&nbsp\\; What is the size of the Metz you are talking about?&nbsp\\; I couldn't find one in a 180/60 only 180/55.&nbsp\\; Thanks.

Metz doesn't make a 180/60 x 17.&nbsp\\; I've heard the Dunlops don't last as long - how long it does last, I have no way of knowing yet.&nbsp\\; I'm running to stock front with 8k on it and it is still in great shape.&nbsp\\; Replaced the rear with a SE 180 a few hundred miles ago and I'm very happy with how this combination rides, grips, and tracks.

Screaming Eagle 180 on the back and Stock up front feels great - only about 600 miles so far.
