Default 06 FLSTFI Tires


Dunlop OEM Replacement

from what I've read on here, this seems to be about the best "Dunlop" ?


Michelin Macadam 160/70-17 73V

In my opinion Michelin leads the way in most, if not all,
vehicle tire applications. So I was wondering if anyone
knows anything about this tire? And, how it stacks up
against Dunlop?

thanks.

Nobody knows or has an opinion on Michelin tires for motorcycles?

Personal I like Michelin and have run them on every bike I've owned. They get more mile before having to replace. Some say ya get a harder feeling ride, but I never noticed it.
Also I like there icon. Bibendum, (aka "Bib the Michelin Man", "Bibelobis", or simply the "Michelin Man") https://www.hdforums.com/forum/attac...1&d=1236148754

I've always thought they made the best tire hands-down. But wondered if the same could be said for their motorcycle tires... thanks for you input.

PCHarley, when I bought my Fattie, there was (and still is) a Michelin on the back. Performance wise, seems like a good tire. As far as how many miles I get on it; I'll let you know.
