Default performance tires for 09 Fat Bob
Its tire time again for my '09 Fat Bob. The first replacements were stock HD tires but I really like cornering and grinding my foot pegs, Any suggestions for grippy, performance tires?

Thanks and I hope everyone is having a Happy Thanksgiving.

Metzlers work good for me, They wear quick but they grip well. I get 10,000-11,000 on a rear tire and about 15,000 on a front tired 3rd set on my Fat Bob. I ride alot in the rain and I ride almost daily
