Metzeler ME880 tires
I put a pair of Metzeler ME880 tires on my Night Train just before I went on my 3000 mile raodtrip, that included riding the Tail of The Dragon. All I can say is WOW!!! These tires are simply awesome in the curves. The tires really dig in and I can lean way over while maintaining perfect control. They took a little getting used to after the 10000 miles I put on the original Dunlops. They handle very differently. Sonce tey have a ronder profile, they "fall" on their side much easier, which of course makes cornering much easier and quicker. When I first rode with them, I thought my front tire was losing grip, hehehe...
I will be using hese tires from now on.
Cheers!

I love them too. Wait till you experience some rain grooves or uneven surfaces.... the difference between them and Dunlops is like night and day.

RE: Metzeler ME880 tires
I agree with what your saying about the Metzelers. The staight line tracking is much better than the original Dunlops. Road grooves don't bother them and the handling in turns is night and day. I've had mine on for about 4,000 miles now and see no signs of wear and i ride them pretty hard in turns. IMO they are worth whatever reduced mileage i might see.
