I finally got the wheels back on my Wide Glide (it took me a week due to over time). These Metzeler Me 880 tires seem to be the best thing I could have done to my bike. They changed the handling of this bike so much ! In a good way ! 
I should have changed them as soon as I bought the bike. I love them !!!

I wish they would send these bike from the factory with the same or similar tires as these. When I compared the Dunlop 90/90 to the Metz 90/90 it looked like it was half the width. This New tire looks like a 100, or 110 compared to the lop.
I had the Dunlop 160, and barely got 7000 miles from it. When I removed it, it was starting to separate. The rubber was falling off of the tire.

I have 15k on my ME880's, (that's the rear tire) won't make it through this winter. Will be buying another set of ME880's soon.

One thing I noticed... after I bought the tires. The 17" rear is a radial. The front 21" in a bias . I hope that this wont have any adverse effect on ware, or handling. I only have a few miles on them now(raining). We'll see.

they are jay, go to metz website and look at the spec sheet on that tire, it prolly is wider. the avon storm i have on the rear they call it a 180 but the spec sheet measurment is 196mm, so i measured it with my calipers and it was 196mm. so bascially there 180 is really a 200. prolly the same goes with metz. jackyl
