So, time for the Heritage to get some new rubber.. The Dunlops were OK, but nothing special. I've used Conti-tours on a couple bikes in the past, good tire and high on my list, but O thought I'd nose around a bit and see whats new out there?

TIA

 

I really like my Avon Cobras -- excellent handling and almost as long-wearing as the stock Dunlops. They're not available in a whole lotta sizes though.

 

Metzeler Me880's...

 

+1 on the Metz running dunlops myself, in the process on upgrading wheels, gonna use metz tires

 

my factory dunlops lasted 6000 miles which i thought was a bit lite so i changed to metzlers this winter

 

I ran the Metz's for the 1st 3 years I had my bike. I got around 10,000 miles on the rear. Last time around, the set was going to be around $350 (up from $220 when I started), so I shopped around and decided to try the Dunlop Elite 3's. Got them for $200 shipped to my door.
Good handling tire, doesn't grab the rain grooves like the original Dunlops, and I should get 12,000 easy out of the rear. If you upgrade to the 140 width, u get more usable tread depth and longer mileage.

 

Pirelli Night Dragons, been on for almost a year. Good in the rain and great on the twisties. I will buy another set when this set is gone.
