Default dyna rear tire

Starting to look for rear, possibly both, replacement tires. Dunlop not that bad, but hope to do better. 06 fxdi. I am aware of manufacturers and want to keep stock wheel, but stay fat and rain safe. Any suggestions.

I have an Avon Venom up front and just purchased the same for the rear though it's not on yet. I've read good things about them, but I think the Metzler 880 is the most popular tire. Check out americanmototire.com for pricing.

[sm=wtf.gif] How much narrower '06? I've never heard this before. Can you really see that much of a difference on your bike? Thanks. Tim

I've used a lot of tires over the years. The stock replacement Dunlops are OK. Nothing to write home about either way. I tried some Michelin COmmanders. Horrible tire; removed them before they wore out. Avone Roadrunners are my favorite. Good traction, smooth ride, and lasts about as long as the stock Dunlops.

I've replaced both tires on my FXD with Metzlers. On my old Sportster I had good luck with Continentals, but that was a while ago.

Looked at a lot of tires. Finally went with the Dunlop Screaming Eagle 180. Fit with no mods to my FXDLI except cutting the bolts off the bag mounts.

Love the way it handles.
