Yep, this is what everyone says and they are going on my bike at next change out!

 

Does anyone have the specs for the Metzler rear tire? According to Dunlop their rear tire is 6.5 in. wide.

 

When it was time for my first set of new tires I went with the Avon Venom and Storm 2. My indy was pushing the Metzlers, so maybe next time around. The difference in handling and grip is amazing. I know these are softer than the stockers but I wore out my rear Dunlop in 7000 miles and have almost that many on the Avon, with a fair amount of tread still left.

 

what specific sizes of the ME880s are you guyz using on both front and rear? i need actual PART NUMBERS so i can price these things out. also, can they be used with tubes? i have laced wheels with screamin eagle dunlops on there now (2006 street bob). my tire knowledge is obviously lacking...

THANKS!

 

Haven't needed to replace mine yet but I vote for the black round ones. Not being a smart a$$ just trying a little humor today.

 

Americanmototire seems to have the best prices around. Used them for the past six years.

 

I just want to know how in the hell your getting 12 to 13k out of a set of tires? I replaced the rear stocker on mine at 10k and that sucker looked bald!!!!!!

 

Switched to the Avon Venoms years ago and have not felt the need to look further. Don't expect to get 12,000 miles out of them though. Reduced mileage is the price you pay for performance.

 

I still have tread left but mine are starting to crack.

 

Metzler Marathon 880 tires get my vote.
