I like my scorchers as good as any I have had. They seem to handle the road snakes better than the dunlops I had on my Sportster. The only thing I don't really like about them is there is a little vibration when you turn corners on the edge of the tire. Other than that they are quiet and hold good in the rain.

 

I'm so excited! Another tire thread!

 

I'm a Metzler 880 guy. Do you see a pattern developing here?

 

A friend loves his Dunlop E3s dual compound tires, made a big difference with the softer compound in the twistys. Not sure if they are available in those sizes.

 

the michelins work well in the mountains. I ride in mountain passes about 50 percent of my riding time and I am perfectly happy with the michelins. I think they are way better on wet pavement then the dunlops. they are way better anyway then the dunlops. My 2 cents.

 

As already stated......Metzler!!!!

 

We offer Metzeler and Avon tires, but the majority of our customers stick with Metzelers. Great tires.

 

M E T Z L E R ..... they've transformed the performance on every bike that I've put them on.

 

Can I get the metzlers in the stock size though? I have to stick with the factory size.

This should answer your question. I upgraded from dunlops last rear to the metzeler 880 and couldn't be more impressed with them. Go with the Metzeler's
