I can't wait to see pics.

I want a 180 for my next rear tire, but as I recall Metzeler and Avon only make a 170 that fits the FXDB (correct me if I'm wrong). Filling the front fender a bit more would be good too.

someone (boskin I think) said you can put a 120 on the stock rim and it'll still fit under the fender. He was talking about the 120 from the nightrod......

Good prices here too. Shipping is always fast, they also have a top notch customer service reputation.

Adrian, that is a valid point...bothered me at first, but they are VERY good at responding quickly. I buy maybe 15-20 tires a year, so price is important, but not without service and selection.

Do you mount the tires yourself, or is there someone local?


[QUOTE=AdrianVall;4873013]They had the best prices I could find.. swmototire.com had the same exact tires for $5 cheaper... BUT, they have no phone customer service, and I prefer talking to someone over the phone before doing business with them if I don't know them, ya know?

Kind of dumb question, but humor me - I'm curious... What was the date stamp on the tires?

You scared me there for a moment. I first thought that the "new" tires were from 2002 as opposed to just being an example. Tire date is always a concern for me. I don't want a tire made more than about six months ago, year max.
