When I had to get new rubber I checked with several shops who said metzler didnt make the correct size for my wg. I chose to try the night dragon after hearing the metric boys rave about it. It was cheaper than se price, and I feel a lot more stable, smooth riding, and awesome grip. It may not fill out like others, but the traction and stability is more important to me. My $.02

Cheers,

Can someone please advise the size of the 180 tyre you are putting on. is it a 180-70-17 or are you using something different. Your help would be appreciated

Dunlop Screamin Eagle is 180/60B17. Pirelli I have just searched 180/60-17. Someone mentioned an avon...I cant find that size, or a metzler, however metzler makes a 170 width. I think thats where the fat tire options end unless you want to go soft crotch rocket tire.

...if i did my homework right.
