Michelin macadam m-50 tire's ?
I have been running the stock Dunlop k591 tire's since 2008 and have got good mileage , handling etc from them, got 15k miles out of the original k591 rear and 14k out of the replacement k591 rear.I found a good deal on a Michelin macadam m-50 rear and figured i would order one and give it a go this time around [bike has 29k miles on it now 2008 FXD]....Any one ever run one of these tires on the rear ?I figured i would try one for the heck of it and if it don't perform well i will go back to the spec Dunlops after i wear the Michelin down.

That's unreal mileage out of the Dunlops...much better than most. My bro-in-law just got in the Macadam rear for his '08 Wide Glide (paid about $80 online), but it won't be mounted until today, so no info yet. But you can't go wrong at that price- looks good too.

I have one, got it online, $80 shipped, dont have alot on confidence in it.... The rubber is extremly hard, it has a tendency to step out when nailing the throttle... Kinda fun to let it go but not when pushing it in corners.... I would put a metz on and skip the michelin...

Mitchelin
I have Mitchelins on my 2010 Dyna, I don't drive hard at 6k they started making a noise like a bearing I'm getting Dunlops Fri.With less than 10k My tires were bad.

I have an 09 fxdc and only got 6k on my first rear. 14 to 15k on a rear tire is awesome . With that kind of mileage I wouldn't change.
