Thanks, appreciate it!

Yea, I run a Metzeler 180/55/18 on the rear, I wouldn't fit much more tire under that fender.

I had bias front and radial rear on both a vrod and a sg with no ill effect, both were stable and handled well. I have always been told that a radial rear will work with either but a radial front means radial only on the rear.

I run them as well. I just switched over from Dunlops a couple of months ago, and they are fantastic!

Hi everyone, I am running on stock laced rims for my 2011 Streetbob. Can I confirm that it is okie for me to use the Metz 880 tubeless tires on the stock rims (with tubes of course). Thank you.

I have the ME880's on my Wide Glide with spokes and tubes. The tires ride great and much better than the factory Dunlops.
My next tires will likely be the ME880's again.
