Metzeler 888?
It has been a few years since Metzeler started phasing out the 880s with the 888s. I need to replace the two tires on my '07 FXDL and I see they finally have my sizes (100/90-19 and 160/70-17) available. Anyone have any experience on the new dual-compound tires? I searched and the last thread on here was a couple of years ago. Must be more guys running these tires now. I am primarily thinking about handling on the 888 vs 880.

Good results with the ME 888's...
Two and half years ago when I bought my 2010 Dyna SG it came with an ME 888 on the rear. When it was time to replace I stayed with the ME 888 and am now on my third. They have averaged 14K miles a piece though I must admit to being an old guy who has never scraped a peg.
The handling is good though I rarely ride in the rain so no serious opinions there. I replaced the front about 8K miles ago with a matching ME 888 and it still looks good. Under the theory of "if it ain't broke don't fix it..." Methinks I'll stay with the Metzlers as they have worked well for me.
As always.... Opinions and YMMV
