A lot of the 2012 models, including the FXDWG which I got changed from Dunlops to Michelin Scorchers as stock tires.

I know I have read both good and bad about the Michelins but are they better than the Dunlops? Must be a reason for the stock change?

When H-D have done this type of change before, will the new "standard" tire for my older model also be the Michelin or will they continue to push the Dunlops?

 

Metzler 880 is the way to go !

 

I like the michelins on my new dyna, they handle much better then the dunlaps I had on my sporty. We'll see what kind of miles I get out of them.

 

I just picked up and had the Metzler 880. It seems to track a lot better and the bike feels better than the dunlop. I'm looking forward to see if it wears better than the dunlop.

 

I easily get 10,000mi on my scorchers... Of course I pushed the last set to 15,000mi. I've got 9,000mi on my second set.

 

Metz get eaten up from what I have seen, Dunlop has good and very bad tires, read up on which Dunlops are keepers.
