i cant make my mind between avon venoms and metzler 880s. just wanted to know what ppl thought. thanks

 

we run metzler 880's on two bikes (street glide and deluxe) and avon venoms on another deluxe.
no difference in ride quality
found the avon's $30 cheaper/set on ebay than metzlers.
happy with both brands; they are the top 2, IMO

 

Metzler ME880's for me. They wear a little better than the Avon's in my opinion and are just as good for traction.

This may sound lame, but I have had Mezlers on a non-harley and was not impressed in years past and always like the Dunlops.

Now I have the Dunlops on my Harley and like them. Are these notably better than stock Dunlop or are there upgraded Dunlops available?

Not to steal thread, I am curious since I will need tires this year.

Ihaven't used Metzeler, but I am on my 2nd set of Avons and love em. I gave up a little wear, but for the traction and handling I will give up around 2500 miles vs the OEM Dunlops.

 

Metzler ME880's for me 2 and way better then dunlop's on wet ground

 

Metzler ME880's for me as well. To me they have a better grip to the road

 

Metzler 880's!

 

I hate the Dunlops on wet roads. Road a buddies bike with ME 880's and had to have some. The Dunlop back tire lasted me 12,000 miles and I'm not expecting to get that much out of the ME880 but the difference on wet roads is enough for me to switch.

Just put ME880 white walls on my '06 Heritage.

 

I've stuck with the Dunlop, Made In USA. But I will say that the low profile 880 on an 18" rear rim looks very sweet.
