My front end checked out good on my WG. Shop thinks the Perilli Route66 80/90 tire i have is bad or out of round. This is the new tire the PO gave me to put on the bike when i bought it and after doing some looking it must be the cheapest rubber you can buy for the bike. Im a believer in you get what you pay for so maybe a good tire will resolve my front end wobble. Just installed a new front motor mount and the vibration is much better but still get a bouncy wobble in front end at low speed. Shop says front end is tight and everything checks out on it. Oh this is a private shop not a dealer.

So my top choices would be to go with a factory dunlop like what came on it new. Guy at shop highly recommended a Michelin Commander front tire. Im a big Michelin fan but no experience with their motorcycle tires. He can get me one for 120 bucks even. Im willing to pay that if they produce good results. I just want a good riding smooth tire....im not into flying around curves and what knot. This is my laid back sunday cruiser

Also i read a little about using a 90/90 tire. Just a little wider? whats the advantage

 

Metzeler 880's have been good for me. Been using them for about 8 years or more. Next front and rear change , thinking about the 888's

 

Cool ill check those out too

 

Go with the commander II. It is a good tire. I love mine!

 

+1 on the Commander. I have a little over 5K on mine & have no complaints. They are as comfortable as the OE Michelin Scorchers they replaced, handle well, and still have a lot of tread remaining. I've logged quite a few miles on them in the rain, and haven't had any issues with them on wet roads.

 

+2 on the Commander II's. Good tire excellent grip and last a good long time.

 

MICH comm.II is fine as far as wear and ride, just leave alot of room ahead of you when in the rain! Ask me how I found that out?!

 

Pirelli Night Dragon is awesome.

 

Pirelli Night Dragon are great tires but the soft compound makes for a short life. I mounted a mcII on front about 2k ago and really liking the handling compared to the scorcher I was running. Bike corners like its on rails
