Dunlop or Michelin?

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.

Metzler 170/60R-17 (Radial, wide tire kit not required)
Went with the metz radial
a bit wider than stock in the numbers but actually looks the same width as the stock dunlop
Works great. I also used a radial tube for wire rims.
I have used metz on my last three bikies. Great proven tire. Why risk it?

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

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
