Coastal Moto will make you a hell of a good deal on Metz with their sale rims. Mine are in the UPS truck right now.

Just had mine installed 4 hrs ago, drove 70 miles in the freezing pouring rain, handled great considering my dunlops had 8,350 on them it's 40 degrees here in Maine. It cost me $200 to have installed with new tubes front and rear does that make sense? anyway love the looks of the tires and handling is as good as I've been reading thanks guy's

Thats where i got my rims from . A set of PM Hooligan Rims for $1,000 ...you usually cant get ONE rim for that price and i got front and rear!!...they had a good deal with the tires too but i couldnt swing it at the time . I have had the rims for over a month i got the front tire last week and just ordered the rear Metzeler last night so hope fully by next week i can have my wheels and tires on the bike.

I push my Lowrider pretty hard sometimes and never felt real confident on the Dunlops, had the Metzlers mounted and a HUGE improvement!

I'm going to probably end up going this route when it's time. As much as I would love to get the Scremin' Eagle 180mm for looks, I'll take function over fashion.

Wouldn't be anybody out there that swears by the Screamin' Eagle 180 is there?...

I am done with Duncraps lol. I went with 90/90 front and 200/55 rear on my 2010 wide glide. They have more grip and should last about twice as long. I was only getting about 5500 out of a rear Duncrap.

Metzlers are great tires, but i have never experienced any problems with Dunlops over the years....Been getting 14k+ out of my K591 rear tires.Run em in the rain, the hot Florida sun, Tennessee mountains etc with Zero handling issues to speak of...
