RE: Help, looking for radials
i run metz but im not sure there radials, i question why do you want radials?? pros-cons the me880's that i have from metz are really sticky well they get real good wet traction and the ware is the best ive seen out of the many dunlaps ive run. i used to go threw at least 3 duns a year and probably easliycut that in half with the metz i run now. we have the same bike too!!! and avatar.....hey want a minute who are you???? lol [>:]

thats cool, well honestly if you have never run a metz you might try they really are a good tire. 10 fold better handling than the stock dunlaps. but thats just me and we have dustytwisty mtn roads here in Arizona and going off the road into a cati isnt what i had in mind. the metz hook alot better and are harder to get it to slide in a corner.

RE: Help, looking for radials
I haven't been able to find any radials that will fit, but I went with the Metzeler 880's at my last tire change. I'm very pleased with the tires. They have a significantly different profile than the stock Dunlops and feel much different when you first get on them. To me, they almost felt like they wanted to dive in to any lean I initiated. After the initial adjustment to the different feel, I no longer notice the difference from that perspective. The tires stick at any lean angle my bike is capable of at any semi-reasonable speed I've been able to obtain. They may not technically be as sticky as the tires one might use on a sportbike, but they have capabilities that seem to be beyond those of the rest of the bike.
