I wanted to see what people recommend for tires? I have an ‘06 Dyna Wide Glide that I bought in mid 2017 and she’s about due for tires. I’ve never purchased tires for a motorcycle before so I wanted to see what people recommend. I kind of like the white walls, but obviously that’s an asthetics thing, so not majorly important. I’m looking for something that’s a good balance of quality and price, i.e. I don’t need the best thing on the market for the largest price tag.
Pirelli Night Dragons, Michelin Commander II's, Avon's, Metzler .. This is the Order I rate Tires for my Dyna but also my own opinion .. If Mileage was not an added factor Avon's would be higher up the list .. I don't think Michelin COM II's or Night Dragons have white walls at least not in my size but Avon's and Metzler do or at least they did last I checked ..

You can't go wrong with Michelins Commanders and Metz 8's...What part of O'side you at?
I grew up there early 70's, 80's, college, then USam!!! Now at the Right Coast...Brother still a local there....Good luck.D.

Right on thanks for the tip! I’m right in downtown right off Coast Highway at Missouri Street, a few blocks south of Mission.
If you're looking for tire that sticks and rails corners....Pirelli Night Dragons. I'm running them on my Switchback and love them. I have 8k on them currently and should easily get about 10k out of the set. Tire pressure is critical for longevity.
I understand Michellin Commanders are the go to for high mileage, but I've more than a few criticisms for wet weather performance.

Yeah handling was one of my biggest criteria, so I appreciate that!

Lotsa craft beer places in O'berg. Try Masters or Pizza & brew. They're both on So Co Highway.
I'm 3 miles South of you...
Been around here awhile...
Check out O'side Cycle Supply for tires. Most of the tire makers (Dunlop/Michelin) have rebates going right now if you buy a set.
If you take your wheels off yourself and bring them in with your tires you bought online, they charge $25/ea mount & balance.
Ride the bike in and they have to take your wheels off? It's gonna be more than double that price. Buy a jack at Harbor Freight and let OCS do their mount & balance for $50.
I think Dunlop rebate is currently $60 unless they upped it to $100/set.
If you do A LOT of riding, then buy an extra set. (I usually buy 5 tires at a shot.) I get an extra 10%off and free shipping when I do this. In fact, I just put "#5" on last Friday (front tire)
I usually get
3 rears &
2 fronts
I use Michys on my FXDL...
