We are going to D.C. next weekend and it appears to be a lot of rain on our way. Was wondering how the tires on the superlow is going to do in the rain. They perform great on dry roads but have not got cought out much in the rain. Thanks.

 

IF you have the stock dunlops on, personally I hated them in the rain didn't seem to grip for crap. Imo

 

No they are a Michelin Scorcher 11 tire, my Heritage has the Dunlops so i know what you mean by that.

 

Have recently ridden with a couple of gals riding new superlows in some pretty heavy rain and they seemed to keep up fine.

 

They are pretty much like every other bike and tires in the rain.

 

The SuperLow tires are as good as motorcycle tires get in the rain. I've ridden my wife's in downpours with no trouble at all. It actually handles rain better than my Nightster.

 

Thats good info thanks, 550 miles there, and looks like a lot of rain. She has got cought a time or two in the rain and said it done fine but i was just courious as to others experience.

 

Rode from Jamestown, TN to Rochester, NY a couple of weeks ago...a LOT of rain and in the 40's. I had about 4k on the bike...tires did fine.

 

I live on the wet coast of Canada. I run the stock Dunlops. They work fine in the rain.

 

The day I picked up my Superlow, it was raining. (October 4th, 2010) It hasn't stopped raining since. I've been caught in downpours with it, seems to do just fine. I think mine's seen more miles in the rain than in sunshine...
