Getting ready to put new rubber on my totally stock 2008 1200 low. Any particular web sites I should shop for best price & selection, best brand or style for this bike as a daily commuter (more in town than highway use, @ 60/40) and how wide can I go on the back rim without rubbing the inside of the fender? Appreciate it ya'll.

 

motyorcycleproshop.com is one that I have ordered tires from. I can't remember the other two I have used at the moment.

I recommend the Metzler tires, I have great service out of those tires, in all riding conditions and types of riding. You can go up to 160 on the rear, but it will be a little tricky to get that tire back on the bike.

 

got me a set me metzlers on motorcyclesuperstore.com. free shipping great price. 160 on the back of mine no problem.

 

exemexer, don't know what part of Dallas your in, but 2 wheel world has pretty decent prices on dunlops like on our sportys. If you buy a tire and you have a loose wheel they mount it free and 15.00 for a balance.

Need to add, 2 wheel world is in Arl. on 303, between fielder and bowen

 

That's one of the other places I've used.

 

+1 on Metzeler. Metzeler me880s on my bike.

 

Exemexer - how many miles did your original tires last??

 

+3 on the Metzler 880's. Much better tires in every way than the stock Dunlops.

 

13,591 on the odometer, cracks in the sidewalls, significantly deminished tread - gettin kinda scarey lookin'.

 

the width of the tire would be limited more by the width of the rim than the fender.
