Default Wide Glide Tires

Are there any recommendations on tires for a 2010 FXDWG?

I have Metzeler's on my 98 wide glide. the fitment chart for them just goes to 2008, but here's what they show for the 08 DWG, maybe it's the same? These tires are awesome.

ME 880 Marathon

Front 54H MH90-21 M/C TL ME 880 MARATHON Front - 36 PSI
Rear 160/70 B 17 M/C 73H TL ME 880 MARATHON D - 40 PSI

For the rear with it being a 180/60-17 about all you will find is the stock Dunlop GT502s from Harley or Pirelli Night Dragons in that size.
The front you have tons of options in 80/90 21 (stock size) or 90/90 21 if you want a little wider front tire.

Thanks for the info... Out of our options, what tire would you say is the best performing? Keep in mind that I'm not looking for a super soft tire that will need to be replaced every 10k miles. I hear Metzlers will last up to and beyond 25k on some bikes. All I have ever hear about were Metzlers, so I don't know anything about the Dragons, etc...

Night Dragons don't last all that well, Metz ME880s are all I will use on my bikes now.

Is this still the recommended tire. I have an 02 wide glide that is due for a new set of tires.
