Default Throw stock tires away

On my 07 Ultra I just replaced stock tires front and rear with new metzler ME880's. What a difference no more road grove hunt and peck. I tried the Metzlers based on reviews from this Web-Site. I could not be happier. So much better I wish I replaced stock tires day one of buying my Ultra.

Don't throw them away. Send them to me. I'll gladly wear them out.

I felt the same way when I switched awhile back. Night and day difference.

I need that stock rubber bad. I've 25000 on the front and 12000 on the back and it's almost time to change it all around. I love the way the bike shimmys going over iron grating.

If everybody keeps raving about the MetzlersI am going to have to buy a set this spring, I haven't seen or heardanything negative about them. I was on the fence between the Dunnies and the Mets but I think after spending time on this forum I am leaning toward the Metzlers, and the fact that my mechanic has them on his bike too.
