dyna rear tire
Starting to look for rear, possibly both, replacement tires. Dunlop not that bad, but hope to do better. 06 fxdi. I am aware of manufacturers and want to keep stock wheel, but stay fat and rain safe. Any suggestions.

RE: dyna rear tire
I have an Avon Venom up front and just purchased the same for the rear though it's not on yet. I've read good things about them, but I think the Metzler 880 is the most popular tire. Check out americanmototire.com for pricing.

RE: dyna rear tire
I've used a lot of tires over the years. The stock replacement Dunlops are OK. Nothing to write home about either way. I tried some Michelin COmmanders. Horrible tire; removed them before they wore out. Avone Roadrunners are my favorite. Good traction, smooth ride, and lasts about as long as the stock Dunlops.

RE: dyna rear tire
I've replaced both tires on my FXD with Metzlers. On my old Sportster I had good luck with Continentals, but that was a while ago.
