So I've got a 2015 road king. I bought this bike brand new and have put 50k miles on this bike already. What is everyone running for tires? I understand that I'm still gonna be putting on a few tires every year, but is there anything out there that might make it a few extra thousand miles? I've be reading and I like the sounds of Metezler M888. TIA!

 

I'm quite happy with my Dunlop American Elites

 

Always been very happy with Metzlers. The 888s get fantastic mileage.

 

Over the last 2+ years I have been averaging 14,000+ miles on the rear and 18,000+ miles on the front with my Metzler ME 888's. The ride and handling are excellent. My new bike came with the Dunlop Elite's so it will be interesting to see how they hold up. If I don't do as well I'll just go back to the Metzler's.

 

I really like my Michelin Camander 2’s, but I don’t have a lot of miles on them yet, so can’t comment on the longivity of them.

 

Are anyone of you running white walls? Are they lasting about the same?

 

I average 19-21k on my stock dunlops on my last 2 Limiteds ('15 and '16). See no need to change brands.

 

Yep ... Me too and mine are "white striped" :>)

 

I used to run the Michelin's and had good luck with them. I also got 16 k two up on my last stock Dunlops on my 15 Road King. The advantage to the Dunlops is all HD Dealers have them in stock and if you ever need one replaced on a trip they have them. I do not like to mix tire brands and the Michelins are much harder to come by.

 

Dunlop American elites for me 30000 kms on the rear on my limited and still not at the wear bars. A little scary actually. I wouldn't use anything else.
