By the way, the stock Dunlops had 11K miles on them.

RE: Metzler Tires rock!
I got almost 12k out of the stock Dunlops on my '05 Ultra, then switched to the ME880's and love them! The Metzlers are supposed to be inflated to 40-42 lbs psi on the front, and 47-48 lbs on rear, for a solo rider, or 50 lbs for two up riding. Quite a difference from the Dunlops, and if you inflate them properly, you will get more miles out of them than the Dunlops, if not you will get about the same as you do on the Dunlops, or maybe a little less.The Metzlers make the bike handle a lot better and don't spin as easy as the Dunlops.

Got 20,000 km's on my ME880's. Probably could still get 2,000 more on the back, and the front could probably see another 5,000, easily. That's with normal driving.
I put a set on my Hayabusa, which also comprised a 240 rear. Put 12,000 km's on them, which is unheard of on a sport bike. And regardless of what the manufacturer says, the ME880 is capable of sustained speeds of over 300 km/h. And by sustained, I mean from Parry Sound to Cookstown type of sustained.
I've been a Metzeler guy my entire life, from the Comp K's, to the MEZ1's, and now to the ME880's. Just put a set of Sportec MEZ3's on my Ducati. I agree with the opinions about them in the rain; they made enough of a difference that I actually noticed it while riding.

Km'sand km's/hr don't mean much to me. Might as well save the wear on your keyboard.

20000 kms = ~12500 miles. 12000 kms = ~7500 miles. 300 km/h = ~185 mph.
Cheers!
